THE MECHANIC (Released to Theaters USA 2011)

 

Ben Meyers’ Rating: 3.8|5.0 Starsììì  The Mechanic—Jason Statham—has good interpretation of the original movie, 1972's The Mechanic with Charles Bronson. This film works for its watch, but know that the original Bronson film is better.  Film Poster Courtesy of Google Images  Storyline  A mechanic (assassin) takes an old friend's son as a student in training.  Additional Thanks Thank you to Director Simon West for directing effort. Thank you to Executive Producers Robert Chartoff, Boaz Davidson, Danny Dimbort, Marcy Drogin, Avi Lerner, Trevor Short, John Thompson, and Irwin Winkler for making the film possible. Cast includes Jason Statham, Ben Foster, Tony Goldwyn, Donald Sutherland, Jeff Chase, Mini Anden, James Logan, Eddie J. Fernandez, Joshua Bridgewater, and John McConnell.   Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?  Maybe. It's adult content seems to hamper the quality of film. The violence can be shocking at times. Jason Statham and Ben Foster serve as a suitable team for the two mechanics working together. Know that the original Charles Bronson film, of the same name, is much better.
