The Mechanic , stars Jason Statham as "The Transporter" fella , actually his name is Arthur Bishop , but it did not really make any difference . I am afraid Jason Statham is type-casted and that is that .
Anyways , is only after leaving the cinema with MOM , she says she has seen it before . Naturally I do not believe her ; after years and years i should know better ; and a visit to old IMDB proves her right again , Charles Bronson no less . Though mom swore the movie was "Death Wish" , we determine that it was in fact The Mechanic ( 1972 ) .
Anyways , movie starts and Jason Statham is Arthur Bishop , a Hit man for hire . We all know Hit Man for hire , Take one contract , take another so on and so on it is life .
Then the Company has to do some internal cleaning , then the internal cleaning gets messy . And we all develop a conscience . Then we all have to make amends . Train the orphan , and the orphan screws up , and then the penny drops .
The Internal cleaning is a hoax , and the bad guy is the good guy and the good guy is the bad guy ; and now we need to go for Revenge . After just teaching our orphan Revenge gets you killed . BLah BLah BLah BLah ! ! !
BLuring the Line between right and wrong , business and pleasure , que sera sera .
Gun battles a blazing , would make any cowboy western proud . Yet this does not allow the great Jason Statham's mixed martial arts to be seen , and the few hand to hand sequences are poorly cut and unpleasant to watch . Begging the question is Jason Statham getting too old to do fight scenes ?
Ben Foster , i am afraid , plays out like a poor man's Edward Norton . The orphan does not develop sympathy in the situation and thus leaving Statham in the Hero role .
a BIG UP , to Mini Anden , I hope to see more of her, in more movies , or in the flesh .
Basically an effect movie , but nothing worth going to pay ticket price for , unless the boys want to go out for the night and then go out for beer afterwards .
