Mechanic: Resurrection

Another very beautiful film by Jason Statham

Watched this back to back with the first one. This is one had better action and even more absurdity (pool scene for example).

It's a fun, unbelievable ride. And, I mean unbelievable in the literal sense. ;-) He uses a rubber raft as a shield against a machine gun! I was LOLzin about that one.

Jessica Alba! :)
Always nice to see her.
Movie was oké... bit hectic tho.
Never the less... good evening filler.

there was scenes were i was WHAAT!!! kinda lame and stuff like when Bishop was escaping that Yacht and taking O2 it went blank and there he was in another city driving a car planning next mission!!!!!!!!!!!!!. but nonetheless i love JASON STATHAM and cuz of that i gave this movie a 7rating.

At times a totally retarded B-movie. Totally unrealistic, absurd and chaotic story. Obvious plot. Still.... entertaining.
+1 for Statham.
7 out 10.
Everything about this movie screams a sort of open job application for Statham to become the next Bond.

The action was non-stop so part of the film was great.

Solid action movie that checks all the boxes:

- lots of shooting
- above average creative kill scenes
- a few good over the top, totally unrealistic action sequences
- hot chick in a bikini or ‘wet outfit for no reason’ scenes, swimming underwater with gratuitous chest shots

They put just enough into the plot but that was definitely the 4th or 5th priority.

Good action flick.

1000 shots and not a single one could hit him
😅😅😅 lol

Statham was good, as usual. Alba still can't act and she's past being "eye candy" which was all she was ever good for anyway. Tommy Lee Jones should've had a much bigger part because he **always** makes a movie better and that didn't change here. Apart from that, the story was ridiculous, the dialogue was awful, and overall the movie was just "blah" at best. I gave it a "7" simply because Statham carried his share of the load. That's the best that can be said for this one.

Improves upon the first film, which is a rather impressive feat.

I felt thoroughly entertained throughout this. I do like Jason Statham films admittedly, sure he plays very similar roles each time but I find myself enjoying the vast majority of his work. 'Mechanic: Resurrection' is no different.

Statham is excellent as he reprises Bishop. I rate his performance, just like in 'The Mechanic'. I find what Bishop encounters in this film much more riveting than what happens in the 2011 production, it's class watching him go piece by piece; even if you have a fair idea what's going to happen.

The aforementioned lead is notably joined by Tommy Lee Jones (Adams), Jessica Alba (Gina) and Michelle Yeoh (Mei). The latter two are unfortunately pretty basic characters, but Jones is very good in his role - I love the look and behaviour of Adams, entirely thanks to the actor himself. Sam Hazeldine (Crain) isn't a great villain, mind... kinda dull in fact.

I always enjoy seeing films travel the world, as this visits numerous countries including Brazil, Malaysia, Australia and Bulgaria - it allows the story to feel global, as opposed to being limited to a random American state. I like the music, also.

This beats its predecessor, which I did enjoy by the way. I'm not saying it is anything incredible, or even one of Statham's best, but all I can state is that I had a fun time.
