As the movie started I couldn't help but think, "Jason Statham has never done a unique performance." Think about it Transporter (1,2,3), Crank, Death Race, The Italian Job, its all the same character. A hard nosed criminal type who hurts people and whispers as he talks.
The Mechanic started no different. He once again plays a tough guy who is under contract to kill people. As the movie plays on you can predict everything that is going to happen and could almost recite the next scene before it even plays.
This movie keeps you entertained as he movies in the past do, but it is nothing impressive at all. The only parts of the movie I enjoyed watching were when Mini Aden, who played a prostitute, was on screen and the end where the only part of the movie you had to think twice about was. So if you are thinking of going to see this movie in theaters...don't!
Johnny's Take: Wait for a night where you have nothing to do and don't pay more than the $1 to rent it on Redbox.
