Not another pointless remake (continued).....


The Mechanic (1972) - IMDb
Directed by Michael Winner.
Starring Charles Bronson, Jan-Michael Vincent, Keenan Wynn. An aging hitman befriends a young man who wants to be a professional killer. Eventually it becomes clear that someone has betrayed them...





The Mechanic (2011) - IMDb
Directed by Simon West.
Starring Jason Statham, Ben Foster, Tony Goldwyn. Follows an elite hit man as he teaches his trade to an apprentice who has a connection to one of his previous victims...

Yawn - another remake. Sorry not interested.
Besides, I don't think Statham can improve on the original stone-cold killer that was Bronson.
