Holy excrement sandwich, Batman. This "sequel" (it isn't) is everything a person should fear when sitting down to watch the long-awaited sequel to a favorite film. It occasionally happens that a supposed sequel is made by entirely different people than made the original film, and they make their own unrelated movie and just slap the name of the first movie on it for marketing purposes. This is just such a case. Avoid it. Watch the original Mechanic, though, great, dark film.

This was incredibly hard to watch all of the way through. I have liked all of Jason's movies up until now. It's like they hired the stars and just phoned the rest in. The acting was horrible, the plot was weak, and the fighting made it look like there was no challenge for Statham at all. My wife loves Jason Statham and she couldn't even watch this all of the way through.

I don't know why the professional reviewers were so hard on this movie. It's typical Jason Statham material with lots of action and exotic locations. It's got a rather weak story and plot but that doesn't really matter. How many of his movies have been "Gone with the Wind" caliber anyway? I enjoyed the movie and didn't spend a lot of time analyzing sub plots or character strengths. I just watched it, enjoyed it and that was enough. If you enjoy watching action movies, like Statham's style and don't mind seeing Jessica Alba in a bikini, then this movie is for you.
