The Mechanic
A; Action
Dir: Simon West
Cast: Jason Statham, Ben Foster, Donald Sutherland
Foster acts as the perfect counterfoil to Statham's cold, calculated killer. Where Statham's Bishop lives by a code, Foster's Steve has no such hangups. The action scenes are numbingly effective, right from the big bangs to the hand-to-hand combats. If hardcore action is your kind of thing, you'll like it. This one's a sleepwalk for Jason and you see that, but it's Foster who compels him to bring his A-Game. Thankfully, there's no cheery repartee that gets this to degenerate into a buddy flick. Thankfully. There's clever dialogue and Also at 90-odd minutes, its quick, precise and done with.
The Mechanic is a no holds barred action film with a barebones plot and dialogue written for the sole purpose of setting up the next over-the-top action sequence. All that's necessary to know about The Mechanic is that Arthur Bishop (Statham) kills people for a living, earning big time paydays for each target he knocks off. He's efficient at his job, creative with his kills, and for the most part it appears the people he's hired to murder are scumbugs.
After being given a job to take out his mentor, Harry (who was apparently swindling money from the company and set up a team of Arthur's cohorts to be slaughtered), Arthur winds up taking Harry's rebel without a cause son, Steve (Foster), under his wing to teach him the ropes. Steve's got a mean streak a mile long and is driven by the need for revenge, but also simply by the thrill of the kill. As Arthur shows him how to kill for a living, Steve proves to be a quick learner - although he prefers messy methods when stealth and a quick kill would be safer.
