CBS idiots can’t even get a story like this right. Statham’s iconic role is in The Transporter.

Sheesh.

I saw this movie tonight and it does the original justice. There is NO politics in this movie, there is a sex scene where we see Mini Aden's bare breast and bottom, language is what you would expect from a very violent movie.

If case you see the movie and wonder what Bishop is playing on the stereo, it is Franz Schubert's Piano Trio in E-Flat Major. That piece will be familiar to Barry Lyndon fans.

I’m sorry, but noone can come close to Charles Bronson in the original movie no matter how many times they remake it.

By any other title I might have liked this movie. But it shouldn’t be called The Mechanic. It’s a basic Statham action flick, and he’s even an identifiable good guy. Exactly NOT The Mechanic.

I never liked the first “Mechanic”. Never cared for John Michael Vincent either.

What is up with all the remakes? Can’t anyone write an original movie anymore?
