My wife and I really enjoyed the move. It was very entertaining, a classic Statham movie and we highly recommend it. If you like this actor, then more than likely you will like this movie.
Have not seen...but based on Donald Westlake's (Richard Parker's) novels, and my favorite comic books (graphic novels) are based on him, too (and nope, haven't even come close to finishing them...there's four of 'em...check 'em out)

This is Jason Statham's best performance. I liked it as well as the original Mechanic starring Bronson. These types of movies are essentially well-made cartoons designed for adults. I like adult cartoons.

I much preferred the Charles Bronson film from 1972. This one is 2011 and did absolutely nothing for me in any scenes at all. I am so happy not to have spent any money in the theater. Jason Stathan seems likeable enough but Ben…

Have to second commenter, PearlyKayAm1, terrible remake!
Jason's ultramodern home in the swamp (bayou) was not only incongruous; I can't believe such a house actually exists, having stayed in that area for a short time after boot camp…

A week ago, I saw a new copy of “The Mechanic” with Charles Bronson on the library shelves so I thought I would see it again. I did not realize at the time that the new copy of the old movie was probably being rereleased because a new film…

An above average action movie. Another remake, which I am starting to loath. Good action. Ok story. Forgettable dialogue with the best acting coming from Ben Foster. Worth seeing as a pure action movie.

Very entertaining, but at times so terribly violent I avoided watching the screen. I want to watch the original again to refresh my memory; I believe the end is quite similar, though. (Boy, is Mini Anden’s body absolutely perfect! And she…

Way back in 1972, movie goers thrilled to the adventures of Charles Bronson in all sorts of violence-fueled shoot 'em ups like "The Stone Killer", which was a favorite, any number of "Death Wish" and scads of sequels and "The Mechanic",…

This director is real good. Another Brit comin’ over here. We’re crawlin’ with ‘em. They are so good we’d be embarrassed, if we had any character.
The rule on making a sequel of a very good film is that it must be as NEW as the original.…

Great action film but too violent for minors and, at times, unrealistic. "A rattling good yarn for adults."

Amazing action movie with Jason Statham to boot. Loved it packed full of all great stuff an action movie should have. A must have and watch for any action fan or Jason Statham fan great twists in it too.

Good - Remake of the Charles Bronson film of the early 1970s adds more background into the character and the plot that was lacking in the original. The updated version also sports some terrific action scenes that are worth watching.
