Mechanic Resurrection Review: 3 Ups & 7 Downs
A lazy sequel nobody asked for.
Don't blame yourself if you didn't realise it, but yes, Jason Statham has a new movie in cinemas, and it's a sequel to a surprisingly entertaining 2011 actioner you may easily have missed.
The Mechanic came and went without much fanfare, and so it's a surprise that a studio banked on giving The Stath another go-around with this character, especially with so little effort being put into, well, everything.
Yes, it will shock few that critics are piling on Mechanic: Resurrection, which wasn't even screened for most of the press, as is always a damning sign. Despite a few fun takeaways, this is agonisingly lazy, forgettable action fare and a major step down from Statham's usual quality. Buyer beware.
