To save her life, Bishop must kill an imprisoned African warlord, a human trafficker (Toby Eddington) and an arms dealer (Tommy Lee Jones), all while making the deaths look like accidents. When things don't go exactly as planned, Bishop turns the tables on the people who forced him out of retirement.

Critics Consensus

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

Jesse Hassenger

AV Club

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

NOW Toronto

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

Rated: 2/5

Dmitry Samarov

Chicago Reader

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.

Dave W While the fight sequences are pretty good, everything else is beyond stupid…If you hang on till the end you’ll hate yourself….For real entertainment, watch Charles Bronson in the original movie. Rated 1.5/5 Stars • Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 07/10/24 Full Review MrAnjinn P As usual Jason Statham can take even a bad script and turn it into a success. The film grossed over $120 million mostly from China on a $40 million budget. The storyline was not that appealing to me, but some great scenic locations, visual effects, and lots of action made the film a success. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/08/24 Full Review Legendaryrey y This sequel it's not bad it has cool kill count and a lot of action Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/24/24 Full Review Rebecca S Definetely an action movie to watch. Quintessential Statham, good martial arts sequences. Entertaining. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/17/24 Full Review Jelisije J A predictable action flick, but an enjoyable action flick. Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/24 Full Review Dev F This is slightly better than the first film as it has the beautiful backdrop of Brazil in the beginning and Thailand throughout the rest of the film. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/04/24 Full Review Read all reviews
