    AS EXPECTED

    Slick, choreographed violence, just enough of a storyline thread to give coherence. I found it entertaining, exciting and undemanding. Higher critique unnecessary.

    It is a boring and non logical film

    The content is too non logical, Jason has no reason to scarify his life for a 2 days met girl.

    For short, this film is only for watching some action scenes. But even with the action scene, it is a little bit affected when Jason kills everyone without any considerable antagonistic.

    The role of the woman in this film is also funny, she has no reason to come to his life :D

    I am a fan of Jason, but frankly, I am disappointed of this film.

    I only rate it with 4/10.

    Regards,

    Not so bad

    Mechanic: Resurrection, a high-octane thrill ride through the world of contract killers, secures a solid 6/10 in my cinematic rankings-a testament to its unabashed action and Jason Statham's steely performance. Statham effortlessly slips back into the role of Arthur Bishop, delivering the bone-crushing intensity audiences have come to expect. The film's strength lies in its relentless action sequences and globe-trotting escapades, offering a popcorn-worthy spectacle for action aficionados. Yet, a minor weakness peeks through in the thin plot that serves as a mere scaffold for the adrenaline-pumping set pieces. The music, a pulsating beat accompanying the on-screen chaos, enhances the overall experience without overshadowing the action. Cinematography captures the scenic locales and death-defying stunts with a gritty elegance. Mechanic: Resurrection, while not rewriting the action genre playbook, delivers the goods for fans of intense, no-nonsense thrills, earning its stripes in the realm of adrenaline-fueled entertainment.

    High-octane action

    "Mechanic: Resurrection," directed by Dennis Gansel and released in 2016, is an action-packed sequel that brings Jason Statham back as Arthur Bishop, a hitman who specializes in making his assassinations look like accidents. The film is a thrill ride from start to finish, filled with explosive action sequences and daring stunts.

    Statham's portrayal of Bishop is as cool and composed as ever, perfectly fitting the role of a professional assassin. The plot kicks off with Bishop being forced out of retirement and coerced into completing a series of nearly impossible hits to save someone he cares about. This premise sets the stage for a globe-trotting adventure, with each assassination providing a new and creative challenge.

    While the storyline might be predictable and the character development somewhat shallow, the film compensates with its relentless pace and visually stunning set pieces. The exotic locations add an extra layer of excitement, and the action choreography is top-notch.

    Overall, "Mechanic: Resurrection" is a solid action movie that delivers what fans of the genre expect: thrilling stunts, a charismatic lead, and non-stop action, earning it a respectable 6/10 rating.

    Mindless entertainment with a totally game Statham

    Mechanic: Resurrection takes a while to get going but once Jason Statham goes on his one man killing spree it's totally worth revisiting this franchise for 90 minutes of mindless entertainment. Since this is about a bald assassin travelling the globe to dispatch people and make it look like an accident, it's also the best Hitman adaptation currently.

    Jason Statham can do this in his sleep so the fact that he still gives 100% is really appreciated. With a supporting cast filled with big names who aren't given much, Statham essentially has to carry this one and does it effortlessly. Tommy Lee Jones is only in it for about 10 minutes at the most and it's obvious he doesn't care which is actually pretty fun.

    Dennis Gansel's direction is solid overall. The action is choppier than the first and there are some distractingly poor CG backdrops interspersed with all the luxurious locales. His greatest strength lies in ensuring the film has one really memorable set piece which was basically the whole marketing campaign for this one.

    • Trivia
      The Mechanic (2011) was not a huge hit, so the sequel was financed independently. Jason Statham has said that after doing supporting roles in The Expendables 3 (2014), Furious 7 (2015), and Spy (2015), he wanted to give his fans a starring performance again in the genre that they have come to expect from him.
    • Goofs
      At the end of the film, Gina is rescued immediately after she escapes the yacht. She is then shown being loaded into an ambulance at some docks while the wreckage of the yacht is being offloaded as well. Unless her rescuer wandered around the ocean for many hours, if not days, there is no way a salvage ship could be sent out to the yacht, pick up the pieces and return to the docks at the same time that Gina does.
