The Mechanic 2011 Jason Stathem Online Review: Jason Statham Seems In His Original Role On This Big Screen Hit
Remakes seem pretty popular these days, and "The Mechanic" is right now on the list. This 2011 movie is a remake of the 1972 version, which starred Charles Bronson. It is a film about a contract killer, so the question is: is this movie a go-see or does it need fixing? Let's find out!
Main Characters
The star of this movie is Arthur Bishop, that is played by actor Jason Statham. Bishop is actually a killer-for-hire, and he is very, very good. His uniqueness is making his hits seem to be everyday incidents - accidents or natural causes is top of the list. And as the movie opens, we see his first contract killing - a wealthy man swimming in his private pool, with armed guards present. Yes, Bishop pulls it off, and also escapes to safety.
One of Bishop's dearest friends is Harry McKenna, performed by Donald Sutherland. So by nature Bishop is aghast when he finds his next contract is Harry! It seems that there was a mission in South Africa that went bad and only 2 people knew about it (Harry being one, and Bishop's boss being the other). Harry got cash as a trade for the contract details, so it is his turn to die.
Bishop is not pleased about it, but he does the contract and kills Harry, making it look like a carjacking gone bad. In the meantime, Harry's son, Steve McKenna (played by Ben Foster) is enraged over his father's killing and wants to find and kill a carjacker as payback.
And the Plot of The Mechanic Thickens...
Steve does go searching for a carjacker and finds out one, but before Steve can kill him, Bishop intervenes. However, Bishop is intrigued by what Steve has done and takes him as a protegee of sorts, to show him what a "mechanic" (assassin) can do.
So, Bishop takes Steve out on a contract, so he can see for himself what it is like. Bishop strangles his hit, then stages it to look like an accidental asphyxiation. And then to prepare Steve further, Bishop clarifies the planning to takes to pull a hit off and make it appear to be an accident.
As you can imagine, there are yet more contracts for Bishop, and Steve gets much more training along the way (in addition to being close to getting killed him self during the course of a contract). And what occurs in the end is likely to amaze you!
Should You See The Mechanic?
Critics as well as audiences are about on the same wavelength for this movie; decent enough, but nothing to write home about. Or to put it another way, it is definitely worth a matinee price ticket for just about anyone, but worth full price for only those who are into mayhem, or if you loved the actual (because you will probably like this remake, too).
By all accounts, though, Jason Statham does a creditable job as a "mechanic", the role that Charles Bronson had played in the 1972 version. Great work, Jason!
