Movie Review: Mechanic Ressurection (2016)

Newest Review is LIVE!!! Here’s a sequel no one was really expecting.

Hello All,

    So this is unexpected. How many people even remember 2010’s Mechanic? You know how you can tell you can’t remember? It actually came out in 2011. I never thought it was terrible, but I remember seeing it once and that’s it. So you can really tell that this is basically going to be bad, because it’s a sequel no one asked for, to a film no one remembers. I still had to find out though, so let’s find out together shall we?

Plot Summary - After going into retirement, Arthur Bishop (Jason Statham) is forcefully recruited by an old enemy to perform three impossible assassinations, in order to save the life of an aid worker (Jessica Alba.)

Pros - There’s a couple of inventive actions moments in the film, and Jason Statham is great in these roles as always.

Cons - The rest of the film can best be described as bafflingly dull. It’s biggest problem is how unbelievably cheap the whole film looks. It’s like they took the small budget, and spent it all on travel costs and boats. The rest of the cast is on autopilot, the backstory and plot are a joke, and the pacing is idiotically dumb. The whole film plays out like a lazy satire of bad action films, that forgot to put in the satire. In the simpsons universe, this movie would star McBain.

Final Score - 1/10

If basic action films are your game, then this is for you. For everyone else, skip it.

Next - Don’t Breathe: I’m really looking forward to this one. I’ll try to get this out soon.
