Be prepared for the worst at any time

I haven't seen the old version of "The Mechanic", but I feel that the plot of the new version is handled neatly and neatly, just like the killer in it, the killing process is neat and beautiful without any excess.
The plot of the whole movie is old-fashioned, and people who often watch movies can basically guess how it will develop after seeing the previous plot. The story of an excellent killer who was used to kill his superior and teacher, discovered the truth in the process of carrying out the mission, and then took revenge. The difference is that some details have been added to make the ending of the story have a lot of new ideas. Just like cooking, adding different seasonings to the same ingredients and changing the order of cooking will make people feel that they have tasted new flavors.
"Victory prefers those who are prepared." Maybe from the killer's decision to take Steve, he prepared for the fact that Steve might eventually find out that he killed his father, and also prepared for the fact that Steve held his own against him. Mental preparation for guns to face each other. It's just that the killer is not passively waiting, but actively coping. From the first day Steve arrived, the killer began to lay the groundwork, and he placed bombs on the gramophone and car according to Steve's character. Steve is dead, and the explosion and the unrecognizable Steve will create the illusion that the killer is dead, and allow the killer to break away from an industry he's starting to tire of. At the beginning of the film, the killer is tired of his current life, and he is always ready to leave the industry.
