Reviews


70
Arizona Republic - Bill Goodykoontz
The action is entertaining enough, and it's kind of fun to follow the intricate plotting and planning of the jobs.
65
Movieline - Stephanie Zacharek
Mostly, The Mechanic creaks and groans as it goes through the motions, and not even its lavish violence - which includes much smashing of heads and a nasty screwdriver stabbing - is particularly electrifying.
63
ReelViews - James Berardinelli
Adequate light entertainment for those who enjoy thrillers, but it is uneven and the underwhelming ending will disappoint those who enjoyed the delicious irony served up by its predecessor.
60
Empire - David Hughes
Better than "The Transporter" but not as much fun as "Crank".
60
Village Voice - Unnamed
Jason Statham bares his six-pack before speaking his first line in this humorless, efficient remake of the 1972 Charles Bronson hitman movie.
