Review of The Mechanic (1972) by Tim G — 26 Apr 2011
Intriguing if not entirely successful thriller about a professional assassin (Charles Bronson) who specializes in elaborate kills that look like accidents, who takes on the narcissistic son of an old friend as his apprentice.
Movie is most interesting when exploring the dynamic of its two cold-hearted protagonists, with Bronson being especially good as the world weary veteran, and features some neat twists towards the end, but ironically dulls down during it's extended action sequences, which seem imported from another movie.
