The Mechanic

...is a buddy movie about two guys really enjoying murder together.

It is done so well one almost forgets to ask why it has been done at all.

He drowns and strangles his targets with respect. He even drops them off rooftops with a certain chagrin.

..when it kills, it does so with style.

...it does fix what was previously broke, making over its subpar predecessor into a generic yet serviceable Statham vehicle.
