I didn't think it was terrible like most people have been saying simply because I went in expecting nothing more than the usual mindless yet fun popcorn action I've come to expect from Jason Statham and that's exactly what I got. Yes it'sI didn't think it was terrible like most people have been saying simply because I went in expecting nothing more than the usual mindless yet fun popcorn action I've come to expect from Jason Statham and that's exactly what I got. Yes it's certainly far from groundbreaking or amazing, but it's also not the terrible God-awful film everyone else wants you to believe it is. It's still a stupid fun time while it lasts. I feel as though most critics and audiences have been exaggerating their opinions on how terrible they think this film is, maybe that's just me though.… Expand

I don't know why, but I thought I was watching a terrible Transporter movie. This movie offered NOTHING, Just boring fight scenes and uninteresting plot. I want to forget this movie and I don't want to see it ever again. Jason Statham,I don't know why, but I thought I was watching a terrible Transporter movie.

Jason Statham, please, think about what you're doing here. To throw this off the bat, I want to see this Jason in John Wick movies. That will be badass.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Never though that Statham will perform as Bishop again after The Mechanic in 2011 (that was a disappointment). The reason that i wanna see this sequel is the cast. Is not just Statham alone but along with Tommy Lee Jones (Academy Award winner), Jessica Alba and international martial actress from Malaysia - Michelle Yeoh.

The story begins with Bishop that begin to enjoy his retirement - tired and sick of all the murderers he planned but then a beautiful Thai girl approached him and offering 3 jobs or get killed. but off course Bishop easily handled this girl and the thugs she bring along with her through a brutal hand combat and escape.

Then Bishop move far away to Thailand and warmly welcomed by his old friend - Mei (Michelle Yeoh).Then soon Bishop reluctantly have to save an attractive girl - Gina (Jessica Alba) whom being beaten by a guy named Frank - just to find out that all was just a set up to spying on him. But, Bishop got another plan, since he already know who behind all this, he intend to finish this once and for all.

Then Bishop meet Crain, a man who hold his grudge upon Bishop for so long - but want Bishop to do 3 hard tasks - murder high profiles villains - but with his expertise - the killing must look like accident.

Bishop easily finished his 2 first tasks - but then he realized that Crain got something behind this all schemes. So,he decide to collaborate with the 3rd target - Max Adams (Tommy Lee Jones), the most powerful gun dealers in all Europea Continent.

Again, that this sequel still far from my expectation. I was hope that this sequel will bring more escalation on every aspect, the characters, the conflicts, character development. But, turn out to be only 2 element added to this sequel 1)Bishop's love story and 2)action package.

I do really like some "humour" elements inserted but still not enough to make me Laugh Out Loud. Also i was really keen when Bishop finally find out that Gina reluctantly "working" for Crain, but then just so easily Bishop finally fall in love with Gina. A person like Bishop.

I really enjoy when Bishop create the accident to kill Cook. And that was really original idea (at least from where i belong).

But the funny thing is : the terms of the assignment was the killing must 100% look like accident or Crain will kill Gina. The 1st task was done not really look like accident.

The other thing, i always enjoy Tommy Lee Jones perform as Max Adams. His performance reminds me of his perform in Under Siege...eccentric but i can feel the vicious behind it. But then, that just it..this sequel didn't give enough space to develop Max's character.

Guess, The Mechanic Resurrcetion is just another typical action movie will be soon forgotten as you put your feet into your doorstep or maybe soon as you leave the building.… Expand

Nothing more than a mindless action flick, Resurrection has plenty of stunts and visual splendor to make up for its recycled plot and cliched dialogue.

A cliché plot doesn't always mean death for an action movie. As long as the star, stunts, and fights are up to snuff then viewers can still find themselves having a good time. While the movie provides some thrilling moments, Statham'sA cliché plot doesn't always mean death for an action movie. As long as the star, stunts, and fights are up to snuff then viewers can still find themselves having a good time. While the movie provides some thrilling moments, Statham's Mechanic sequel ultimately falls short thanks to a strange focus on acting and storytelling. Both of which aren't handled very well.

Despite his pedigree, Statham isn't unfamiliar with more story-driven action flicks. Take Homefront for example, which did a pretty great job of juggling both character-driven writing and the star's remarkable physicality. Here though the amount of predictability is just painful. The emphasis on the romance between Statham and Abla is where this is most notable. It's also punctuated by awful dialog and the fact that Abla just can't act. The action is mostly solid though. When things finally get going it's almost enough to make you forget about how bad everything else is. It's even quite fun at times. The hits themselves Statham is forced to pull of are quite exciting and inventive. Near the end it starts to rely on formulaic shoot outs, but at least that's better than the writing. Plus you're treated to some gorgeous scenery. Of course even that gets hurt by some bad green screen and CGI work here and there. There are times where you can clearly see the budget restraints. The direction also seems a tad amateurish. Did we really need those lengthy fade to blacks before the next scene? At times though this is actually a strength. It (unintentionally) harkens back to those cheesy action hits of the 80's. When it comes to action movies there are plenty of better alternatives out there. However there are also plenty of worse ones as well. But why waste your time with something so middling? Ultimately this just serves as a reminder of why Statham isn't exactly as big of a name as he could be. He's got the presence and skills, but so far he just hasn't had the movies.

While the action set-pieces set on exotic locations are admittedly thrilling, Jason Statham’s sequel to 2011’s The Mechanic falters with an insane amount of plot holes, as well as a first act that poorly sets up the film to follow.

Let's start off by saying that I am a fan of Jason Statham particularly the Transporter trilogy.
But watching his latest flick begs the question,
why would anyone 'resurrect' 2011's the Mechanic ?
Sure no action fan is expecting a great screenplay or sparkling dialogue.
But in spite of some impressive international locales and a few decent action set pieces,
the Mechanic 2 makes little use of Stathams badass charm or humor.
At his best his work can be ridiculous fun, expertly choreographed with a healthy dose of
adrenaline packed fun.
This time out it's an offering that's hyper edited, lacking even a decent villain, this might be the longest 90 minutes that you'll spend in a theater.
And the movies best special effect ?
A bizarre cameo from no less than Tommy Lee Jones.
I've often said that eventually Michael Caine or Morgan Freeman will appear in every movie.
After cameo's in three low rent films this year meet their heir apparent.
Save this one for a slow night on HBO.… Expand

This is an action movie, and delivers on its promise to be an action movie. I enjoyed it. No gaps in the action. If this is what your looking for from a movie, I recommend it highly. If your looking for plausible, you will not like it.

After going underground at the end of the 2011 flic, hired assassin Jason Statham returns to kill again. He's backed into a corner, thanx partly to his quick romance with Jessica Alba, who's basically reduced to being the damsel in distress.After going underground at the end of the 2011 flic, hired assassin Jason Statham returns to kill again. He's backed into a corner, thanx partly to his quick romance with Jessica Alba, who's basically reduced to being the damsel in distress. As expected, he kicks ass and kills plenty, but this sequel has him setting more traps and creating elaborate schemes. There's less hand-to-hand fighting, which is his strength. What fights are there, aren't often special. Statham fans will probably enjoy his steely character and some good moves, but will find less cool action than expected.… Expand
