The Mechanic (2011)

When it's over, I can never tire of Jason Statham.  He's one of those actors who tends to play a lot of emotionally undetached characters who ends up waving a lot guns and beating a lot of people up.  He's the hero of  anti-heros and he does such a great job at it.  Statham's back in action as an elite assassin who mentors the son of one of his victims played by the very talented, Ben Foster.  Of course nothing is as it seems in a "revenge" driven film.  Mix lots of gun play, add in some explosions, sprinkle it with stunts, and top it off with Statham and Foster make for an enjoyable no-brainer film.

My rating: 3.5 out of 5
