The Mechanic 2011 Jason Stathem On Line Review: Jason Statham Is Back In His Original Role With This Movie

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 movie about a contract killer, so the question is: is this movie a go-see or will it need fixing? Let's figure out!

Main Characters

The celebrity 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 look like everyday incidents - accidents or natural causes is top of the list. And when the movie opens, we see his first contract killing - a millionaire man playing in his private pool, with armed guards present. Yes, Bishop pulls it off, and also escapes to safety.

One of Bishop's nearest friends is Harry McKenna, played by Donald Sutherland. So by nature Bishop is aghast when he realizes his next contract is Harry! It seems like there was a mission in South Africa that went bad but 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 isn't pleased about this, but he does the agreement and kills Harry, that makes 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 in search of a carjacker and finds out one, but before Steve can kill the guy, Bishop intervenes. However, Bishop is intrigued by what exactly Steve has done and takes him as a protegee of sorts, to explain 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. After that to train Steve further, Bishop clarifies the planning to takes to pull a hit off to make it appear to be any sort of accident.

As you are 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 are the results in the end is likely to surprise you!

Should You See The Mechanic?

Critics as well as audiences are about on the same wavelength with this movie; decent enough, but almost nothing to write home about. Or to put it one other 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 original (because you will probably like this remake, also).

By all accounts, though, Jason Statham really does a creditable job as a "mechanic", the role that Charles Bronson had performed in the 1972 version. Great work, Jason!
