Review of The Mechanic (2011) by Ollie W — 27 Aug 2011
Jason Statham plays 'The Mechanic', a top notch assassin. When he finds out that his best friends death was in vein, he goes after the men responsible, no matter how high up they may be. He also trains his friend's troubled son to help out.
For starters, why is Ben Foster not in better movies.? Don't get me wrong, The Mechanic is a totally solid action flick. Some of the action scenes are well choreographed and shot. its pretty violent too but some of CGI blood is just annoying.
The real problem comes in the fact that some of the dramatic beats are held for far too long. Its like Simon West really thought this film could make people cry or something. Gotta say I love seeing Tony Goldwyn in random stuff like this.
