Mechanic Resurrection ***.5

[Ole Cowboy]

Stars: Jason Statham, Jessica Alba, Tommy Lee Jones, Michelle Yeoh

Typical story line, guy retires from the hitman business, but some bad dude wants to hire him to rid him of his 3 rivals, because he is the BEST. We have all seen this story line a million times.

Jessica Alba spends half her time in a bikini and she is easy on the eye.

So for the movie to 'make it' the action is going to need to be good and unique...the move 'makes it' in spades, great action, unique situations that keep you on the edge of your seat and and overall enjoyable movie, worth the $3.99 iTunes rental tariff. Wife liked it.

The pool scene is a WOW, could have been better had it been in slow-mo.

3.5 stars for solid value and enjoyable movie.

I thought the original was amazing when it came out.
Bronson was the best.

No, but they both are great in their own way...no spoiler!
