Review of The Mechanic (2011) by Ville H — 05 Sep 2011
A typical action thriller that combines the revenge and assassin plot threads. However, this piece was presented in a manner I appreciated. In a post "Bourne" world, action movies need to have a certain intelligence to them, but this one didn't and it didn't need to.
Ben Foster's charming and always convoluted performance, along with the action sequences really make this movie a good addition to the action collection. The main antagonist was almost unnecessary, due to a boring and contrived performance.
There have been better action movies and there have been much, much worse. It's Jason Statham tough. So..see it.
