Bishop's sudden rebellion trying to short-circuit the progression of the argument through kicks and punches, and final boss Tommy Lee Jones are the two gems of this film.

For an actor who, with the "Transporter" films, once imbued the action genre with a new sense of possibility and winking sophistication, Mr. Statham is on cruise control.

When it comes out on home video, fast-forward to the stunts. You won't miss a thing.

Unnecessary second-shot Mechanic: Resurrection, playing like a third-rate remake of Bond scenes, can't resurrect the ghost of a thrilling action sequence, the spirit of a high-calibre assassin adventure, even the faintest whiff of originality.

A brainless entertainment film, absurd, aware of its own ridicule and, most important of all, well done. Thanks, Statham and company. [Full review in Spanish]

Digital photography, with its limited ability to capture rapid movement, renders the close combat choppy and disorienting, and none of the kills is especially memorable.

This sequel carries forward only two ideas: that gimmick-y "assassinations that look like accidents" are a valid substitute for story, and that Jason Statham can carry an action movie even when it is propped up on such wobbly legs.

A film where Jason Statham demonstrates once again that he has what it takes to be a modern action hero: few words and lots of action.. [Full review in Spanish]

There's some pleasant globe-trotting - Brazil to Thailand to Australia to Bulgaria - and a lot of over-the-top fights. But don't be surprised if after a few rounds, you find yourself wishing for the bell.
