As a diehard fan of the Charles Bronson / Jan Michael Vincent starring Mechanic picture from the 1970s, I was more than a little bit skeptical of Jason Statham’s reboot. But you best believe I saw it, and you best believe I can barely remember a single thing from that film beyond a vague inkling of Ben Foster’s always-appreciated presence.
So a sequel to that film feels like a big old “why not”, and any doubts I had about the first reboot’s faithfulness to the original film have fallen away. I have to see this movie ASAP.
And if you feel the same, Cinapse has a present for you!
