      Quite a killer movie

      At the moment when the killer films are dense, it is rare to have such a film that wins not only by killing scenes. The title of mechanic, just like the killer's acting style depicted in the film, is calm, precise and cruel. Just as the killing skills are closely related to the killer, the bottom line and conscience are also principled. There have been mercenaries in Europe since ancient times, and then there were bounty hunters. So far, they are killing machines that work hard for money, or...

      This killer is not too cold

      Since there are several films of the same name, it must be pointed out that this one is "The Mechanic 1", which was released in 2011 and directed by Simon West and starring Jason Statham.

          Arthur, the hero of this action movie, is a professional killer.
          Killers are naturally ruthless.
          At the beginning, he cleanly took down a drug organization leader. The next task was to ask him to kill his best friend, the old man Harry, who was already in a wheelchair. I thought...

      If this was in Hong Kong 20 years ago

      Before we get to the topic, let’s ask a little question. At the beginning of the film, the water in Boss Hei’s swimming pool doesn’t look very clean. Could it be that it attracts sea water, and the sea water won’t be so dark.

      If this was in Hong Kong 20 years ago, the process of Statham teaching the second male on the road would not have been so easy. There will be a small test for the second male, and he found that the second male has the potential to be bold and careful; In the...

      No suspense suspense movie

      Violent scenes, bloody images. I don't know what the plot was conceived for. . . . . . It ends with the killing of Steve. Continuing the tradition of American TV dramas - the male protagonists are all immortal heroes, and they hesitate to cut watermelons when killing villains. . . . In the end unscathed. The tragic male second, once again proved the concept of super suspense (submerged in the protagonist's infinite light), the gay soy sauce guy, who is innocent and released his sins. Sister...

      This killer doesn't care

      The male protagonist is an actor I like very much, basically the theater directed at him. However, the viewing process is not as enjoyable as "Doomed", so let's give it a three-star. Rhythm, rhythm! The idea of ​​the film is actually better than doomed, but the director's grasp of the sense of rhythm is really not as good as doomed. The fast places are too fast, and the slow places are too slow, making people feel that they are always unable to catch up. Pity. I always thought this movie could...

    Movie quotes

    • Arthur Bishop: Good judgment comes from experience and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.

    • [first lines]

      Arthur Bishop: What I do requires a certain mindset. I do assignments; designated targets. Some jobs need to look like accidents. Others must cast suspicion on someone else. A select few need to send a clear message. Pulling a trigger is easy. The best jobs are the ones nobody even knows you were there.

    • Harry McKenna: You're a goddamn machine. You see things. You view people differently than I do, differently than anybody does. But you have a problem, Arthur. You need companionship.

      Arthur Bishop: I have you Harry.

      Harry McKenna: Oh, then you're in deeper shit than I thought.
