The Mechanic Reviews
Observer
Una LaMarche
The Mechanic is like a Beretta loaded with blanks -- quick and brutal but ultimately empty.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Joe Williams
Even by the sloppy, soulless standards of hit man movies, "The Mechanic" is a mess.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
The result is just good enough to pass as an action flick you watch with the forgiving gaze that comes from too many beers and too little sleep.
Detroit News
Tom Long
Jason Statham needs to get a tune-up, switch gears and hit the gas.
New York Times
Manohla Dargis
A sputtering remake in need of a more powerful recharge.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
Considerably more fun than the rather lethargic original.
Washington Post
John Anderson
"The Mechanic," 2011 edition, is a striking-looking work, combining an arty inkiness with a retro-graininess that more or less screams 1970s, albeit without the cliches and flatness. If only you liked the people in the picture.
IFC.com
Matt Singer
I feel more comfortable forking over my twelve dollars for a movie by Jason Statham than I do for a movie by just about anyone else.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
It's flash without the sizzle, an appetizer without the main course, and by the time it was finished setting itself up for the requisite sequel I was mentally already halfway out the door to forgetting about it completely.
TheWrap
Leah Rozen
Statham, he of the chiseled physique and sexily receding hairline, holds his own here, doing what he has to in scenes and no more -- which is perfect for a movie like this.
Newsday
Rafer Guzman
Clinging to false heroism and terrified of anything too dark, The Mechanic is a tough-guy movie for wimps.
New Yorker
Bruce Diones
Statham is a model of control; he's steely and graceful in his action scenes, and his interplay with the wiry Foster delivers the goods.
NPR
Mark Jenkins
Betrayal, sympathy and regret are central to the story, but there's hardly any room for such feelings amid the clockwork carnage.
TIME Magazine
Mary F. Pols
The interplay between dry Arthur and crazy, caustic Steve is what makes the movie fun.
Slate
Dana Stevens
The Arthur/Steve relationship at the movie's heart is what lifts The Mechanic above the common run of kablammo! action thrillers.
USA Today
Scott Bowles
The first legitimate action film of 2011.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
To the extent it makes sense, it's a collection of time-honored cliches, and to the extent that it's original, "The Mechanic" is insane, bordering on gloriously insane.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
Mr. Statham, the specialist in English tough guys who was so affecting in "The Bank Job," has more to offer than "The Mechanic" has the grace to receive.
Seattle Times
John Hartl
West's slick, fairly faithful new remake gives partial screenplay credit to Lewis John Carlino, who wrote the original "Mechanic." But the picture isn't likely to do for Jason Statham what the 1972 film did for Bronson.
Boston Globe
Tom Russo
An intermittently arresting, mostly standard action entry that deals death noisily more than cleverly - a lot like the original.
