Review of Mechanic: Resurrection (2016) by Datamari — 06 Sep 2016

"Mindless action movie." Yeah, not this time, not ever.

The Mechanic: Resurrection is the much needed sequel to the cult classic of the same name. I've heard many people give this movie a free pass because it's just Jason Statham spouting out one-liners. Well, just because it's entertaining doesn't mean it's good. There's no substance to the film, it's literally just J-Statham fighting bad guys in disorienting camera shots, terrible green-screen shots, and terrible special effects. Sprinkle that in with some laughably bad acting and forced romance that you hardly buy, and you have a movie that you can get wasted on. I can understand if you want to give it a good score and call it a guilty pleasure movie, but you have to understand that this is NOT a good movie. From a critical standpoint, this movie is complete garbage. However, if you wanna have fun with some buddies, crack open a few cold ones and enjoy the hilarity.

The Mechanic: Resurrection gets a 2/10.
