Here’s the new trailer for the upcoming Simon West remake of the 1972 Charles Bronson flick The Mechanic. It stars Jason Statham as Arthur Bishop, an elite assassin known as a “mechanic” who can be trusted to seamlessly “eliminate targets” with precision, speed, and machine-like detachment. When his mentor Harry McKenna is murdered, he becomes personally invested in seeking vengeance. Co- starring Ben Foster as his protege, Donald Sutherland as his mentor and Tony Goldwyn as the ‘bad guy’ this should appeal to the action fan who likes to see a lot of mayhem for their price of admission. The director made the Nicolas Cage insane action movie ‘Con-Air’ and looks to be an all out hit-man movie that has the fortune of being based on a classic of it’s genre.
It’s the Red Band trailer so it’s more explicit and features a lot more violence, just so you know what you’re in for.
The Mechanic hits cinemas January 28th, 2011.
