In “Mechanic,” [Statham's] a mechanic of murder, of escape, of ingenuity, of combat. He’s too good (and too badass) to be true, but that’s why we like him. It would be nice to see Statham make a movie one day that’s accomplished enough to raise his game. Until that happens, Mechanic: Resurrection will do. Read full review

Statham and Gansel don’t recreate the Transporter magic; those were lovingly ridiculous action movies, while Mechanic: Resurrection is more hastily ridiculous. But after a season of sagas, revivals, and franchise hubris, the flatness of a Statham sequel inspires its own kind of trash nostalgia. Read full review

It’s sillier and more free-wheeling than you’d initially expect, but it never quite finds a sense of drive to give it purpose. Read full review

The film is certainly watchable, thanks to the elaborately staged action sequences and Statham's killer charisma. Read full review

Andy Webster

If not for Mr. Jones, “Resurrection,” while competently edited, would be devoid of humor, an area where Mr. Statham has shown promise in the past. Read full review

Statham should hold out for movies that offer him more than a few exotic stamps on his passport. Read full review

Fans of the Stath and his inimitable oeuvre may find just enough shooting, punching and snarling to keep them satisfied. But those who enjoy proper movies are urged to steer clear. Read full review

I think if you like Jason Statham's action movies, then you will enjoy this one too. Yes, it had a bit over the top scenario and some scenes were a bit too unreallistic, but as it is an action movie I can forgive that. Not the best movie from Stathem, but still enjoyable

Этот фильм является типичным фильмом Джейсона Стетхэма, сюжет примитивный, актёрская игра удручает, в фильме нет какой-либо динамики. Из плюсов я могу отметить только сцену с бассейном, она получилось довольно крутойЭтот фильм является типичным фильмом Джейсона Стетхэма, сюжет примитивный, актёрская игра удручает, в фильме нет какой-либо динамики.

While the action set-pieces set on exotic locations are admittedly thrilling, Jason Statham’s sequel to 2011’s The Mechanic falters with an insane amount of plot holes, as well as a first act that poorly sets up the film to follow.

Is it too early to place my vote for the worst movie of 2016 ?

Let's start off by saying that I am a fan of Jason Statham particularly the Transporter trilogy.
But watching his latest flick begs the question,
why would anyone 'resurrect' 2011's the Mechanic ?
Sure no action fan is expecting a great screenplay or sparkling dialogue.
But in spite of some impressive international locales and a few decent action set pieces,
the Mechanic 2 makes little use of Stathams badass charm or humor.
At his best his work can be ridiculous fun, expertly choreographed with a healthy dose of
adrenaline packed fun.
This time out it's an offering that's hyper edited, lacking even a decent villain, this might be the longest 90 minutes that you'll spend in a theater.
And the movies best special effect ?
A bizarre cameo from no less than Tommy Lee Jones.
I've often said that eventually Michael Caine or Morgan Freeman will appear in every movie.
After cameo's in three low rent films this year meet their heir apparent.
Save this one for a slow night on HBO.… Expand

Easily one of the worst directed films I've ever seen. There were so many shots that were poorly edited into it, Shots that were CG/Green Screened and yet they made not even the slightest effort into hiding that. Biggest example would be the scene from the beginning of the film where JasonEasily one of the worst directed films I've ever seen.

Aside from the garbage directing, It's a typical Statham film and he does nothing outside the norm of what he's done in his previous dozen films.… Expand
