The Mechanic

Great story. Excellent memorable performances from Charles Bronson and Jan Michael Vincent. Fav

Filmed in Los Angeles and Italy this film takes you inside the mind of a perfectionist hitman, all delivered in a somber tone. It’s almost Charles Bronson’s 007, without the cheesy persona. If you’re into the older James Bond films and don’t mind a scattering of “out there” characters along the way, you will probably like this one, a few gadgets and lots of surprises, a hidden present for you!

The best movie of its kind! Like the man said "Bronson is so cool, he pis..s ice" now that is cool!

Charles Bronson.....what can I say about the guy? He's probably one of my favorite actors ever on screen. I don't know what it is, whether its the fact that he's been in alot of movies I like (Dirty Dozen, Mr. Majestyk, Once Upon A Time In The West, Death Wish, Death Hunt......which I hope Apple oculd upload so that people could see this awesomeness, The Great Escape, etc.) or if it's the fact that he was in one of my first action films I ever saw (Hard Times, which I hope Apple could upload because I love that movie). Anyway, onto the story....it's actually pretty good and shows you why Charles Bronson is well, Charles Bronson (basically Chuck Norris if he was even more awesome). The ending of the movie is always one of my favorite revenge scenes in a movie. Anyway, the action's cool and the acting is good. Check it out. This is a message to the big Hollywood types that are about to remake this movie {Yes, they are doing this}- AHEM.....PLEASE DON'T SCREW THIS UP! I KNOW YOU ARE GOING TO MAKE JASON STRATHAM IN THIS MOVIE, WHICH IF YOU ASK ME I DON'T MIND. BUT, DON'T MAKE THIS A R.I.N.O. (Remake In Name Only.......you know, like Day the Earth Stood Still, Dino deLaurentis's King Kong, Roland Emmerich's Godzilla, Lost in Space, Wild Wild West, etc.). JUST PLEASE STICK TO THE SOURCE MATERIAL, KEEP THE STORY THE SAME.....MAYBE ELABORATE ON SOME THINGS THAT FEEL NEEDED TO BE ELABORATED. IF YOU DON'T WANT TO STICK TO THE SAME STORY, AT LEAST MAKE IT AS AN HOMAGE TO THE ORIGINAL (like the 2010 Wolf Man remake). PLEASE DON'T SCREW THAT UP AND PLEASE DON'T EVEN TRY TO REPLACE CHARLES BRONSON. IT WON'T WORK IF YOU TRY IT. AND FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS HOLY, PLEASE DON'T MAKE IT TERRIBLE LIKE ALIEN VS. PREDATOR: REQUIEM.

This movie packs a lot of what made Bronson the greatest (although underappreciated) action star of all time: understated, everyman tough guy who manages to keep us riveted both by his mysterious presence and keen ability to out-maneuver and ultimately waste all who challenge him!!
