Leave your thoughts about Mechanic: Resurrection.
| The PlaylistWill AshtonIt’s sillier and more free-wheeling than you’d initially expect, but it never quite finds a sense of drive to give it purpose. |
| New York TimesAndy WebsterIf not for Mr. Jones, “Resurrection,” while competently edited, would be devoid of humor, an area where Mr. Statham has shown promise in the past. |
| ChrisStuckmann.comChris StuckmannMechanic: Resurrection joins the ranks of Commando, Cobra and Broken Arrow as a cheesy, machismo-drenched guilty pleasure. Shove popcorn in your face and have fun. |
| VarietyOwen GleibermanIn “Mechanic,” [Statham's] a mechanic of murder, of escape, of ingenuity, of combat. He’s too good (and too badass) to be true, but that’s why we like him. It would be nice to see Statham make a movie one day that’s accomplished enough to raise his game. Until that happens, Mechanic: Resurrection will do. |
| The A.V. ClubJesse HassengerStatham and Gansel don’t recreate the Transporter magic; those were lovingly ridiculous action movies, while Mechanic: Resurrection is more hastily ridiculous. But after a season of sagas, revivals, and franchise hubris, the flatness of a Statham sequel inspires its own kind of trash nostalgia. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfPaycheck performances and cartoon heroics tend to dominate in "Mechanic: Resurrection," making it a less satisfying effort than its passable predecessor, with outrageousness missing genuine thrills. |
| The Times of IndiaReagan Gavin RasquinhaDespite the staid title like 'mechanic' and a plot line that is as simple as can be, Statham pulls punches - literally - like we haven't seen in any action film this year. Okay, to be fair, at least not yet. |
| Consequence of SoundDominick MayerMechanic: Resurrection plays in an uncommonly generic key, and the film only makes intermittent attempts to enliven the proceedings. |
| Sacramento News & ReviewJim LaneAs Statham demonstrated with his hilarious turn in the Melissa McCarthy gem Spy, there's something about his humorlessness that is itself amusing. |
| Cine VértigoErnesto DiezmartinezA very weak sequel where the director is unable to mount a good action sequence or even a barely exciting scene. [Full review in Spanish] |
