The Mechanic (2010)

Anthony Smith3 said:So what's the deal with all these remakes lately??🤷

Though... honestly, looking at this specific one, I gotta say—out of all the Brosnosov flicks (and man, I dig them almost as much as I love Clint's stuff!), Mechanic might actually be his weakest link. It’s got a few decent bits—like how he meticulously plans out his hits, analyzes everything before pulling the trigger—but overall? It just doesn't hit for me. It feels kind of dull and way too drawn out with some seriously "weird" scenes (like when Steve's "girlfriend" slits her wrists and they just show up and stare at her?). So, a remake might actually turn out better... but hey, we'll see when it finally drops.
Personally though, I'm way more into Brosnosn's classics like "Mr. Majestyk," "Death Wish" (the original and the first two sequels), "Hard Times" (which is probably his absolute best, IMO), "Broken Arrow," "The White Buffalo," "Telephone," "Death Hunt," and maybe a few others...
But hey, just my two cents...

I think you totally missed "Once Upon a Time in the West"—that's easily one of the greatest ever made, and definitely a top-tier Bronsonov classic!

I was actually pretty hyped for this one and caught it about two weeks ago, but honestly? I can barely even remember what the plot was today.
I feel like that says everything you need to know about how played out and exhausted this whole premise is.
Look, I’m a huge Jason Statham fan, but this flick just didn't hit the mark at all—if some random nobody had been in the lead role, I probably would’ve just drifted off to sleep halfway through.
As for Ben Foster—thumbs up.
