Charles Bronson is a legend of cinema that's a fact & i love the rugged tough action hero with a cool moustache & my first movie i ever saw of his was his iconic classic vigilante movie Death Wish (1974) that i absolutely love.
The Mechanic is directed by Michael Winner who did lots of films with Bronson & i think this & Death Wish are the best of their work together & the most grittiest & darkest. Charles Bronson gives an excellent performance here as ageing Hitman Arthur Bishop who is troubled,lost & mentally tortured by his work & Bronson really gives that lost hopeless & lonely feel to his character but is still deadly & tough it's an excellent performance.
This is one of Bronson's best films it deserves a place next to Death Wish & Mr.Majestyk all BRILLIANT 70's Thriller movies made with power & grit & starring the original tough guy action hero Bronson.
A true old school action Thriller that's moody,dark & totally entertaining & you get lost with Bronson in this classic that has a fantastic old 70's music score it's great & Nostalgic in the way that it's a lost era the 1970's & Bronson is gone too R.I.P to a legend. A great story about training a new young hitman & things go wrong & a great character study wrapped up in a beautifully filmed 70's masterpiece.
