"The Mechanic" is an action thriller film starring Jason Statham and Ben Foster. There are good action movies and bad action movies, but "The Mechanic" is an unnecessary action movie. Even though I am myself an action movie fan and I respect Jason Statham as an action hero, but nothing could deter from the fact that "The Mechanic" is a waste of time(88 minutes) and money(they didn't get enough profit).
Cast wise, Good. Jason Statham is now the best action hero in Hollywood and hence his casting is natural.Ben Foster is good in his role as a trainee under the guidance of Statham. Besides that, others have hardly any role.
"The Mechanic" doesn't boost of good action neither enough thriller to bear the genre tag of "action thriller".All the actions are typical and nothing oomph factor in them. It seems as though everyone in the movie production team had virtually no prep going into the movie. They just had to make a movie and they made the movie.
Overall, "The Mechanic" is not boring(due short running time). But it doesn't even deserve a single view from audience. It's a bad choice by Jason Statham.
My Verdict: 5/10
