Additional InformationSeasoned hitman Arthur Bishop (Jason Statham) sets out to avenge the brutal murder of his mentor, Harry (Donald Sutherland), and finds himself joined by Harry's vengeful son (Ben Foster), who is eager to follow in his late father's footsteps, in this remake of the 1972 action thriller starring Charles Bronson and Jan-Michael Vincent. Harry taught Arthur how to be a detached killer who always hits his mark. Now Harry is gone, and for the first time in Arthur's career it's about to get personal. As lone-wolf assassin Arthur prepares to hunt down Harry's killers, he is approached by his fallen mentor's vengeful son, Steve, who is eager to take up the lethal tools of his father's trade. Unused at working with a partner yet compelled to help Steve carry on the family tradition, Arthur agrees to take him on as a protege. Later, the duo begins to methodically eliminate their targets, forging a partnership born of blood with each new hit. The closer Arthur and Steve get to the name at the top of their list, however, the more apparent it becomes that his job will be anything but business as usual.
ReviewsEmpire Magazine - Better than THE TRANSPORTER [à], Time Magazine - The interplay between dry Arthur and crazy, caustic Steve makes the movie a lot of fun., Guardian UK - Over the past decade or so, Jason Statham has morphed [à] into an international action hero - and after sitting through The Mechanic I can see why., Empire - Better than THE TRANSPORTER..., E! Online - [T]he kind of character-driven suspense audiences often say they want., News Of The World - Contains [à] pure action-movie dialogue poetry. No way I am not giving this film a thumbs up., The Guardian - Over the past decade or so, Jason Statham has morphed [à] into an international action hero - and after sitting through The Mechanic I can see why

  • Brilliant film

    This is another brilliant film with Jason Statham in. Plenty of action and explosions. I like the one in the petrol station, fantastic. Jason Statham works really well with Ben Foster. I don't want to say too much to ruin the film but the explosion towards the end with the car was excellent. Great film worth watching and buying.

  • Waste of time - watched it for 30 minutes and then put it away.

    Not what I expected. Picture was dark and story-line was disappointing.
