Unfortunately, these accolades attract the attention of a gang of robbers that ransack his home.

While Rane manages to survive, albeit with a severed arm, his wife and children are ruthlessly killed.

The Beekeeperis a fairly straightforward action thriller, but it does slip in some surprising bits of political commentary.

Its evident that throughout the adventure, Rane is still in grief over the loss of his family.

The strong performance from Devane only made the films climax more exhilarating.
