Assassino a Preço Fixo 2: A Ressurreição

Fun action as usual, the plot is paper thin but works. Writing didn't make sense at times.

I watched this movie last night with my wife and let me tell u guys it was really great!!! the acting and the scenes were perfect and the reason i didn't give it 10 out of 10 is the the movie had to be at least 3 hours in my opinion, and for those who complain about the actors i should say it really was worth watching. Statham played so well as always and ALba was good too. the main problem of the move was the story line which everything happened so quick that i felt they were in a hurry to make this movie. for example a TV series like Prison break can't be summarized into a movie and mechanic resurrection felt like a prison break series summarized into one movie with only 90 minutes. So watch this movie if you are a Jason Statham fan and love action a lot.

Mechanic: Resurrection takes a while to get going but once Jason Statham goes on his one man killing spree it's totally worth revisiting this franchise for 90 minutes of mindless entertainment. Since this is about a bald assassin travelling the globe to dispatch people and make it look like an accident, it's also the best Hitman adaptation currently.

Jason Statham can do this in his sleep so the fact that he still gives 100% is really appreciated. With a supporting cast filled with big names who aren't given much, Statham essentially has to carry this one and does it effortlessly. Tommy Lee Jones is only in it for about 10 minutes at the most and it's obvious he doesn't care which is actually pretty fun.

Dennis Gansel's direction is solid overall. The action is choppier than the first and there are some distractingly poor CG backdrops interspersed with all the luxurious locales. His greatest strength lies in ensuring the film has one really memorable set piece which was basically the whole marketing campaign for this one.

Sure, this movie is dumb and has a lot of plot holes. Speaking of plot: There is no such thing as a plot. The "plot" is merely an excuse for the Action in this movie. But this is exactly where it does succeed: Jason Statham is kicking some major ass here and this is where the movie is entertaining. And let's not forget the beautiful scenery, and I'm not talking about Jessica Alba here, even though she has quite a few Action scenes as well and isn't just the Damsel in Distress.

All in all, it's a great Jason Statham movie, with fun Action and a beautiful and diverse scenery. Just don't expect too much. But if you're in the need for a dumb yet entertaining Action movie, Mechanic: Resurrection is just the thing you're looking for. Call it a guilty pleasure, but I really enjoyed it.

Slick, choreographed violence, just enough of a storyline thread to give coherence. I found it entertaining, exciting and undemanding. Higher critique unnecessary.
