Featured reviews
"Mechanic: Resurrection," directed by Dennis Gansel and released in 2016, is an action-packed sequel that brings Jason Statham back as Arthur Bishop, a hitman who specializes in making his assassinations look like accidents. The film is a thrill ride from start to finish, filled with explosive action sequences and daring stunts.
Statham's portrayal of Bishop is as cool and composed as ever, perfectly fitting the role of a professional assassin. The plot kicks off with Bishop being forced out of retirement and coerced into completing a series of nearly impossible hits to save someone he cares about. This premise sets the stage for a globe-trotting adventure, with each assassination providing a new and creative challenge.
While the storyline might be predictable and the character development somewhat shallow, the film compensates with its relentless pace and visually stunning set pieces. The exotic locations add an extra layer of excitement, and the action choreography is top-notch.
Overall, "Mechanic: Resurrection" is a solid action movie that delivers what fans of the genre expect: thrilling stunts, a charismatic lead, and non-stop action, earning it a respectable 6/10 rating.

This movie is fun! Nothing more than that.
Jason Statham is back and though this is not a good movie, it is a fun one and if you expected more than that you have no one else to blame but yourself.
Ill rate the movie with my usual ratingssystem which contains rating a few aspect of the movie with an overall total score at the end
Acting: 5/10. If Jason Statham looking stoically at everyone/everything isn't enough, we got jessica alba being used as a sex symbol first and an actress second. From Jason I can take it since it's his schtick, but jessica... yikes!
Action: 7/10. Though there were some cool scenes in there, nothing is original or great by any means. The action in the first the mechanic was better choreographed than in here.
Cinematography: 8/10. it is actually well shot and the action that is there is greatly shot with some wide angles here and there.
Dialogue: 3/10. I think they didn't even make a screenplay/script. they just went for it and came out with this.
Overall: 5/10. Wouldn't recommend it. It is fun and if there's nothing else in the cinemas i would recommend it while you were drunk and paid the matinée price :)

Slick, choreographed violence, just enough of a storyline thread to give coherence. I found it entertaining, exciting and undemanding. Higher critique unnecessary.
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, a high-octane thrill ride through the world of contract killers, secures a solid 6/10 in my cinematic rankings-a testament to its unabashed action and Jason Statham's steely performance. Statham effortlessly slips back into the role of Arthur Bishop, delivering the bone-crushing intensity audiences have come to expect. The film's strength lies in its relentless action sequences and globe-trotting escapades, offering a popcorn-worthy spectacle for action aficionados. Yet, a minor weakness peeks through in the thin plot that serves as a mere scaffold for the adrenaline-pumping set pieces. The music, a pulsating beat accompanying the on-screen chaos, enhances the overall experience without overshadowing the action. Cinematography captures the scenic locales and death-defying stunts with a gritty elegance. Mechanic: Resurrection, while not rewriting the action genre playbook, delivers the goods for fans of intense, no-nonsense thrills, earning its stripes in the realm of adrenaline-fueled entertainment.
Did you know
- TriviaLe flingueur (2011) was not a huge hit, so the sequel was financed independently. Jason Statham has said that after doing supporting roles in Expendables 3 (2014), Fast & Furious 7 (2015), and Spy (2015), he wanted to give his fans a starring performance again in the genre that they have come to expect from him.
- GoofsAt the end of the film, Gina is rescued immediately after she escapes the yacht. She is then shown being loaded into an ambulance at some docks while the wreckage of the yacht is being offloaded as well. Unless her rescuer wandered around the ocean for many hours, if not days, there is no way a salvage ship could be sent out to the yacht, pick up the pieces and return to the docks at the same time that Gina does.
