The Mechanic (2011)

Director: Simon West

Starring: Jason Statham, Ben Foster

Follows an elite hit man as he teaches his trade to an apprentice who has a connection to one of his previous victims.

If the handbook to film flaws was in the form of a film, this would be it. This film was just bad on every level. It is so overdone and unnecessarily violent. Jason Statham’s character is so one-dimensional, it hurts. So much of the film just doesn’t make sense and nothing seems to be justified. The ending renders most of the movie worthless leaving you with a sense of WTF! It makes absolutely no sense whatsoever why The Mechanic did what he did. I hated this film, in fact.
