It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

(im so happy 2 see) Supremely Super Beautiful Jessica Alba Looking Her Most Beautiful and Hottest and Sexier Than Ever! i.e. Most Delicious i.e. Thank You Jesus i.e. Marry Me, Please i.e. 1 True Love (back in movies) + Beautiful Viewpoints to Marvel i.e. Jessica in her pretty blue bikini & Statham hanging under the skyscraper glass pool & Beautiful Michelle Yeoh + All-Time Beautiful & All-Time Great Cast i.e. Jessica Alba & Jason Statham & Michelle & Tommy Lee + Beautiful Production + Beautiful Visual Scenery i.e. Jessica 'So Beautiful' Alba and the water and the sun and the trees and the breeze and the buildings and the boats and the islands and the Statham - any real significance = Mechanic: Resurrection a 5, a Beautiful Looking Film A Little Better Than the 1st 1 'cuz of Jessica and Statham and Yeoh and Jones and Jessica with a much better story but worse action! Mechanic: Resurrection's direction is well executed but poorly shot.

Jason Statham performs his usual, action packed, indestructible man who can do it all sequence, but the plot is terrible. Jessica Alba is among the worst actresses out there, and this movie is a perfect example to prove it. Action scenes are entertaining, but they can't make up for how silly and poor the story is.

(Flash Review)Who cares what the story is about; this is a shoot 'em up brainless flic. The reason why Statham busts out his skills is the most vanilla you can imagine. Former gun for hire retires and is forced back to do one last series of jobs to save this woman he only just met but just has to rescue. Who cares when you watch him gun down so many men that is becomes obscenely comical. This blood bath earns a 6/10 because they somehow, in this watered-down genre, find slightly new ways to kill people. Got to credit the creativity. Haha. Some actually made me audibly grunt with amusement like a teenage kid. The three men he is hired to kill are actually fairly amusing, over the top yet spectacular. T. L. Jones does not need to be in this. Is he really hurting for money? Jessica Alba does not act very convincingly and their romance is just barely passable. If you want to suspend some disbelief and go on an amusingly bloody ride this works.

MECHANIC: RESURRECTION is a sequel to the first film, which itself was a remake of an old '70s vehicle for Charles Bronson. Jason Statham returns as the bald-headed assassin for a new story in which he finds himself forced to assassinate a trio of targets in order to save a kidnapped woman. The story is nothing special, merely a template for lots of globe-trotting stylistics and plenty of well-directed action sequences.I notice this film has been panned by critics and audiences alike, but I feel puzzled and as if I saw a different movie. There's nothing majorly wrong with this movie. Sure, it's a little CGI heavy at times, but it has a lightness of touch that makes it a fun watch, and plenty of hard-hitting fight scenes that have great choreography. The opening fight, inspired by the likes of THE RAID 2, is by far the best part of the movie, and it never again quite reaches the same highs, but the rest is still engaging.Statham's kill missions are suspenseful and one of them has a jaw-dropping, laugh-out-loud denouement. Statham is his usual brooding presence and looks bad-ass with a beard, while Jessica Alba isn't too annoying. The villain is weak but Tommy Lee Jones has an amusing minor role as a quirky character. Best of the lot is Michelle Yeoh, underutilised yes, but it's still good to see her. MECHANIC: RESURRECTION is noisy and dumb, but also exciting and fast-paced. I really enjoyed it.
