Review of Mechanic: Resurrection (2016) by Skeptic303 — 02 Oct 2016
Mechanic: Resurrection is the Hitman: Agent 47 of 2016 with a moderate upgrade: it is at least much better when Jason Statham is killing people.
Maybe if it was continuous action the way Hardcore Henry was, I would have spared it a great deal of trouble. But alas, that's not the case when a dreadfully boring love story is at play between the five and forty-minute marks. Yep, like all cliché Hollywood action films these days, there has to be a love story taking up a third of the entire movie that serves as pointless filler in order to make the concept somewhat human. Did the scriptwriter forget about flashbacks and the creation of mystery while making this film?
As with many action movies in this category such as this movie, the characters are one-dimensional cut-outs and the plot is quite stupid. Except for entertainment value from Jason Statham and the plot after the forty minute mark, nothing else was at least good in this movie.
