Critics Consensus

With little to recommend beyond a handful of entertaining set pieces, Mechanic: Resurrection suggests this franchise should have remained in its tomb.

B-

After a season of sagas, revivals, and franchise hubris, the flatness of a Statham sequel inspires its own kind of trash nostalgia.

Mechanic: Resurrection aims to be no more satisfying than an oil change, and no one seems more bored by that prospect than Jason Statham.

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.

Don't expect quality acting or narrative consistency or anything like that, but if you want to see a bunch of faceless bad guys get thoroughly [Jason] Stathamed... then you'll dig this one.

A pretty standard action flick, yet somehow way more watchable than Hollywood's recent outings. A good film for a rainy afternoon or late night watch.

This is one of those movies where you can nap for half an hour, take two or three bathroom breaks, and still not miss anything important.

Une suite qui fonctionne très bien ! Les exécutions des trois cibles sont très satisfaisante. Cependant, j'avoue que l'histoire autour du personnage de Jessica Alba m'a moyennement convaincu, j’aurai presque préféré qu’ils ne partent pas sur une relation amoureuse pour obliger Bishop a reprendre du service.

Now that's how an action movie is done!! I always liked Jason Statham since the Transporter film series. He's the best.
