The Mechanic

The "Transporter" (Jason Statham) teams up with the "3:10 to Yuma" kid (Ben Foster) for some "Mission Impossible" assignments. It’s a remake of a Charles Bronson classic that Alien missed, but the movie was exactly what I would have expected and more. Whether you call him Frank or Arthur, Statham’s character is still cool, but deadly with rules to follow. When you need to arrange an "accident", just place an ad in the classifieds for the mechanic. He is extremely good at fixing problems. The wild game of deceit and double-cross drives this action-packed thrill ride. No matter how perfect your plan is, it can go nuts when little things go astray. Have fun with this great guy film.

Alien gives it 3 ½ "Victory Loves Preparation" stars out of 4.
