Woohoo!!!
Lots of action
I love this movie, heartpounding good, doesn't hurt that Jason Statham was in the movie.
The Mechanic is a whirlwind of action set against enough father/son, mentor/apprentice relationships to give Hamlet a headache. Simeon West's direction is so fast-paced somw viewers may require oxygen upon leaning the theater, and the film is beautifully - and frequently elegantly shot. Jason Statham works well with Ben foster and shows the range we've seen in only a few of his previous films [The Bank Job, for example]. Sadly, all the onscreen expertise is used to bolster a script that ends with a seemingly tacked-on, Hollywood ending and winds up being just another action/revenge flick. It could've been a classic by dropping the last sequence and going for the nilistic with its
Loved the action and the interaction between male stars. Lots of drama and exploding scenes.
Great action movie even with a decent plot.
Heartpounding, gripping, edge of your seat thrill ride.
A real Guy Flick with all the stunts, shooting and things guys like. However, it did capture my interest and the acting and stunts are amazing. The title was very creative and the writers made you think.
A Guy Flick. Intense, action and sex. However it does have a story and makes you think. A little too much violence perhaps.
A great action movie.
