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.

Rated: B-

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

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.

The acting is wooden and unenergetic, effects poor. I couldn’t get through the first 30 minutes. A waste of time.

Worse than the first one. The story is predictable and sometimes boring. But still solid action entertainment. As hard action movie it is a good choice, especially because of Jason Statham.

In what world is this better than the first one??? He didn't want to kill people anymore, but then he's is "forced" to kill them because of a girl?? A girl who was set up to get with him?? Do they truly care about each other or playing a roll? This is nothing like the first movie. Just dumb....

The Statham rolls into action to protect a fit stranger by killing three nutters for another nutter - although in the end Tommy Lee Jones’ charm overcomes his resolution. I kept expecting a plot twist, but there were none to be had.
