The Mechanic will be a decent time-killer for Statham fans, but it's another black mark against the name of director Simon West.

Betrayal, sympathy and regret are central to the story, but there's hardly any room for such feelings amid the clockwork carnage.

Statham is a model of control; he's steely and graceful in his action scenes, and his interplay with the wiry Foster delivers the goods.

Statham has slowly become this generations' Bruce Willis, combining a quiet and sly screen persona with the ability to kick major ass when called upon

[Simon West] goes for headshots, stabbings and other dispatches that are the antithesis of modern PG-13 action filmmaking.

Somewhat faithful to the original, but a stupendously violent fiasco that weasels its way into being unlikable.

The Mechanic is like a Beretta loaded with blanks -- quick and brutal but ultimately empty.

If you're looking for substance, character development, and an engaging storyline, you'll sadly be disappointed as this film is seriously lacking in all three of those areas.

Clinging to false heroism and terrified of anything too dark, The Mechanic is a tough-guy movie for wimps.

The new stunts are explosive, over-the-top and a sign of the times -- action fans aren't happy these days, it seems, unless at least one scene involves a jackknifing 18-wheeler and a fireball.

Statham, he of the chiseled physique and sexily receding hairline, holds his own here, doing what he has to in scenes and no more -- which is perfect for a movie like this.

A brainless and easily-forgettable thriller.
