Reviewing The Mechanic was something I didn't think I would do, as I really didn't care all that much for it the first time around, but seeing as there's a sequel soon hitting the cinemas, I thought I'd give it a shot. The Mechanic starts rather good. Statham and Sutherland has a few rather good scenes in the opening of the film and all is well... ...then Ben Foster hits the scene, and everything goes meh. Don't get me wrong. The action is good, the locations and the cinematography are good, and Statham does his stonefaced persona well enough...yet again. What made this go somewhat bad is the total lack of sympathy for the characters. Foster plays a whiny and impulsive brat...badly, Statham, even though he usually kills bad guys, doesn't come off as particularly sympathetic either. There's something about the story and the fact that these guys kill for money without much remorse that rubs me the wrong way. There's no noble cause or anything to make you even a tiny bit sympathetic with the protagonists. Anyway...I'm going to see the sequel just because Statham is one of my favourite actors when I just want to spend some time relaxing, but I don't think I'll ever see this one again...

Entertaining movie, but not nearly as good as the original. Wouldn't call it the worst of the year. I mean, Have you seen "Big Mommas"? :S

Worst movie I've seen this year!!!

Watching this movie with the perfect background, at the lounge of a auto shop while some mechanics fix my car, and it’s more interesting and surprising than this movie. Nice action and I think my point of view is wrong, watching a Statham action movie and getting disappointed that its super cliche it’s like eating an hamburger and disappoint it don’t tastes like pizza. That’s what it is, take it or leave it.

It's a movie similar to The Transporter, another Jason Statham movie. Se parecen todas o casi todas las películas que hace el
