The Mechanic

Action
3.5 stars
A “guy flick” starring Jason Statham as a hit man who reluctantly mentors a volatile wannabe (Ben Foster). Lots of action and explosions and shootouts. Statham was good as usual as a straightforward butt-kicker. The suspense was waiting for the hot-tempered Foster’s fuse to blow. This is a remake of the 1972 film with Charles Bronson. Jim loved it. I think Jim now owes me a chick flick. Donald Sutherland co-stars. From a girl’s point of view, it was a decent action flick.
