Statham, B. foster, T. Goldwyn). The movie is filmed in the old style, full of hard, brutal action, charismatic characters. This is pure male tape with a severe age rated R.

The Classic Thriller

The Film ‘Mechanic’ is a remake of the eponymous painting by Michael Winner, 1972 issue. The Director of the film was made by Simon West. The author's approach the Creator of the “Air prison" has surprised many fans of the original tape. The remake is very gloomy, but nevertheless very dynamic, with the presence of mass clichéd genre components.

Storyline

As in any other classic action film, the plot is simplified to the point that his troubles do not interfere with the main-chases, hand-to-hand fights, shootouts, and a perfect plan to eliminate the ordered purposes. The main character Arthur Bishop (Jason Statham) is a "mechanic" (the assassin-a perfectionist). After the death of a close friend takes custody of his son (Ben foster) of the deceased. He teaches the kid everything he knows and knows himself. Soon they together bring the demise of various criminals: rapists, murderers, liars and thugs.

The Ideal candidate

Popularly beloved action hero Jason Statham was the perfect candidate for the leading role of the film. He appears before the audience in a familiar role: a lot, but shoots, fights and seduces beauties with its irresistible charisma. However, in the project of Simon West he is not familiar unidirectional killer bonecrusher, as, for example, in all parts of the “Carrier”. Statham is his hero aestheticism professional, expert in his field. Mechanic combines retro car and he listens to classical music exclusively on vinyl. In the film a great deal depends on the charisma and brutality of the actor. His stone face, with one movement of the muscle transmitting the entire range of experienced emotions, the audience does not get bored.

An English actor, who started the road to success with a modeling career, famous works of guy Ritchie: “Gun”, “Big score”. Debut of Statham is the film “lock, stock and two Smoking barrels”, which was also set Richie. Since 2000, Jason's career developed rapidly, in rolling out the film series “Adrenaline” after deductible “Carrier” and a series of tapes “the Expendables”.

In 2016 there will be a sequel of the blockbuster of 2010, in which again will play a major role Jason Statham, – “Mechanic: Resurrection”.

Student-partner

Perfectly sets off the image of the hero that appears in a tragic coincidence, the student's partner Steve, who was reincarnated Ben foster. Actor, different texture impudent boy, do not come to the fore of the narrative, but in the shade for the duration of the film is not going away. The presence of his character in the action allows the creators to show the infamous conflict of generations, the widely used films on the assassin theme. Novice “professionals” trying to take unceremoniously, without paying attention to the small details, making a lot of mistakes. Trouble stuck with experienced mentors.

Foster is not too familiar to a wide audience, but that didn't stop the actor perfectly a role to play. In Steve McCann no not remotely stupid teenagers from the “Virus of love”. Ben foster “Mechanics” feel, so his character perfectly fits into the atmosphere of the picture. The actor managed to correctly convey the emotions and mood of your character. The most significant works in the career of the actor are roles in the following films: ‘X-Men: the Last stand”, “pandorum”, “And the sound of the storm”, “Warcraft” and, of course, ‘Mechanic". Actors who worked with foster, predict a bright future for him.

Cast

In General, to judge performance fairlydifficult, as it is typical of the genre. Harsh face, his eyes, scraps of sharp phrases. On the background of the foster and Statham, their brutal Spartan images cameo appearance Harry McKenna, a character in Donald Sutherland, like the coming of aliens. In the world of continuous violence, where every one is ready to destroy every second, his character is laughing, looking at others through rose-colored glasses, even on the threshold of his violent death. His presence represents the greatest contrast Thriller. Canadian actor known for the films: ‘Time to kill”, “Pride and prejudice”, “Hunger games” (all parts) and so on.

Tony Goldwyn who plays the role of Dean, best known for playing the antagonist Carl Bruner in the 1990 romance “Ghost”. The American actor was popular in the 90-ies, then his career went into decline. Involved in the production of action movie "Mechanic" of the actors-colleagues called an attempt at resuscitation of fading popularity. Chance performance was implemented in 2014 he was invited to the blockbuster “Divergent”.
