Mechanic, The
01-04-2012 - Ryan Colucci

This update of the Charles Bronson starrer The Mechanic features Jason Statham and Ben Foster, with Donald Sutherland co-starring. Simon West brings us a slick film full of the prerequisite assassin film double-crosses… but I guess my problem with this version is that, although Foster’s character is a bit of a dick, we have every reason to root for him and not Statham. Statham killed his father and lied to him. It was an exciting journey, but one that left me unsatisfied. And I like Statham, but there is only one Charles Bronson.
