THE MECHANIC

Check out Jason Statham in the new Transporter...no wait...it's another Death Race. I mean the third Crank. Or something with Guy Ritchie? Nope. Hmm...

I actually like Statham, but he's covered the tough-as-nails-British-guy-with-unthinkable-karate-moves-and-driving-skills-while-at-the-same-time-getting-all-the-girls-and-saving-the-day motif a few times over. In The Mechanic he plays an assassin whose boss is murdered, so he goes rogue to get his revenge on the people that ordered the hit. He acts as a mentor to Ben Foster (a supremely gifted actor, who plays creepy as well as anyone), who then both go on a rampage through the ranks of some illegitimate organization.
