Mechanic: Resurrection Reviews
In what world is this better than the first one??? He didn't want to kill people anymore, but then he's is "forced" to kill them because of a girl?? A girl who was set up to get with him?? Do they truly care about each other or playing a roll? This is nothing like the first movie. Just dumb....
The Statham rolls into action to protect a fit stranger by killing three nutters for another nutter - although in the end Tommy Lee Jones’ charm overcomes his resolution. I kept expecting a plot twist, but there were none to be had.
Some people say that the golden age of action movies was the eighties with Schwarzenegger and Stallone, but then came the nineties with the less bodybuilders and more explosions and special effects. 'Mechanic: Resurrection' sits somewhere between them. In fact... it sits in a lot of middle ground. Over the years Jason Statham has proved himself quite a competent leading man when it comes to crunching bad guys' heads together in stylish action scenes. Some of his action films have become some of my favourites, while other are - even for a fan like myself - a bit 'meh.' This time round the Stath has to kill three hard-to-reach murderers, or the big boss will execute Stath love interest (this time Jessica Alba). The film does the job... just. In the scale of Jason Statham action films this one sits dead centre. There's nothing particularly wrong with it - there are beautiful locations, nice set pieces and the fight scenes are choreographed well. Plus there's not too much greenscreen or computer-generated special effects (but a few backgrounds in - presumably - the 'pick-up' shots do stand out. Naturally, there are plenty of disposable baddies to shoot along the way and you'll have to suspend your disbelief when he takes out hordes of faceless goons, especially when Statham uses a rubber dingy to hide behind (and it saves him from heavy machine gun fire). Basically, if you like Jason Statham and his slightly over-the-top modern action movies then this one should be up for a watch especially if you find it on streaming services.
The action sequences are fine. However, the plot contains a lot of cliches.
While the fight sequences are pretty good, everything else is beyond stupid…If you hang on till the end you’ll hate yourself….For real entertainment, watch Charles Bronson in the original movie.
As usual Jason Statham can take even a bad script and turn it into a success. The film grossed over $120 million mostly from China on a $40 million budget. The storyline was not that appealing to me, but some great scenic locations, visual effects, and lots of action made the film a success.
This sequel it's not bad it has cool kill count and a lot of action
Definetely an action movie to watch. Quintessential Statham, good martial arts sequences. Entertaining.
A predictable action flick, but an enjoyable action flick.
This is slightly better than the first film as it has the beautiful backdrop of Brazil in the beginning and Thailand throughout the rest of the film.
Professional assassin, Arthur Bishop the "Mechanic" is back from the dead. Bishop has retired and is secretly living in Rio de Janeiro under a new secret identity. All is well and Bishop is enjoying his retirement... until a courier discovers him and makes him a offer. "The principal I represent has an offer for you. He'd like 3 men killed. Each death must look like an accident. Your specialty I believe." - Courier The Courier threatens to reveal Bishop and end his new life. But Bishop refuses and escapes to Thailand. But when they kidnap his girlfriend, (Gina) Bishop has no choice, and he is forced to perform 3 near impossible hits, and make them look like accidents..... which stretches across the four corners in the world. "You have 36 hours to eliminate all the targets on this list or they will eliminate me." - Gina But there is more going on here, this is not just about contracts, this is a personal vendetta against Bishop and he has to play their game as a pawn in a chess match. But they have messed with the wrong man, the Mechanic will have his revenge and no one crosses the most dangerous hit man in the world and lives to tell about it. "Tell your principal it never pays to f**k with the dead."- Arthur Bishop I really enjoyed this movie. Jason Statham is back as The Mechanic and doing what he does best, kicking butt! This sequel is so much better than I was expected. A good fast paced story, lots of fun action, a great cast, a high body count, and a awesome ending. Lots of popcorn for this one. Cast - Jason Statham, Jessica Alba, Michelle Yeoh Tommy Lee Jones
The story line is so terrible I'm surprised that Jason Statham ever took this role! I wish I never saw this horrible movie!
One of the best films ever made. A must see.
Though the first third felt rushed and unsatisfying, I rather enjoyed the rest of the film. Jason Statham is always watchable and the screenplay was creative and pacy.
The actions in the film are violent and exhilarating to witness, with realistic effects such as wounds and gunfire.
A great sequence. It is not a continuation of the predecessor, but the character continues his business of killing for hire. Even better than the first, I'm waiting for the third part, right away.
Not as good as first but still a decent ride 2.8
Minha opinião: Um filme assisti umas 3 vezes. Um filme bom de Jason e um dos últimos visto da Jessica. Um filme não tão bom como #CargaExplosiva ou #CorridaMortal Esta entre os seus 10 filmes. Como sempre com muita porrada e tiros. Ele faz o papel de um assassino profissional que executa seus alvos sem deixar rastro. Pra ele executar é colocada como refém a Jessica que digamos é o encanto do filme com Michelle em um filme brutal. Vale apena assistir. Roteiro: Bem elaborado, com ínicio, meio e fim. Vale apena assistir? Sim Nota: 7,5
Just Jason Statham doing extreme missions on a beach while hanging out with Jessica Alba
