Ever wondered what would happen if Chuck Norris tried to go vegan? Well wonder no more - "The Beefeater" finds the 70-year-old (but still tough as fuck) Norris as a retired actor living with his on-off girlfriend (Shelly Duvall, in a shock return to acting) in a cosy Santa Monica suburb. After eating 5lbs of texas-style ribs at the local bbq shack, Norris suffers a case of acute meat poisoning, prompting a life or death challenge from his girlfriend to kick the habit before he kicks the bucket. Mellowing ever-so-slightly in his old age, Norris obliges, but it's not long before his carnivorous inner-beast kicks in and takes control. Watch Norris trample across Southern California in a blur of fists and hate, lost in a brutal willingness to destroy anything standing between him and his next steak...
"Basically like 'The Shining', but with a scarier guy and 100% more meat" The Guardian
"The tension when the butcher tells him he's out of steak is unbearable... it's like, you know the guys totally gonna get it right in the face, and then he totally does, but the seven seconds in between still feel like an absolute killer in suspense terms" The Daily Telegraph
"A stern warning to all the vegans out there" Time Magazine
