Mechanic: Resurrection

Arthur Bishop thought he'd put his days of dangerous missions behind him, but his peaceful retirement is short-lived. When the woman he loves, Gina, is kidnapped by his most formidable enemy, he's forced back into the life he tried to leave. Bishop must travel the globe to complete a series of impossible assassinations and race against time to save Gina.

Mechanic: Resurrection was widely panned by critics, who found the plot nonsensical and the action repetitive. Audiences were similarly unimpressed, leading to a poor box office performance.

• Lacks the style and substance of its predecessor.

• Predictable plot and uninspired action sequences.

• Relies too heavily on Jason Statham's charisma to carry a weak script.

Google audience: Audiences found the film to be a forgettable action flick with a convoluted plot and a lack of originality. Many felt it was a step down from the first movie, with little to recommend beyond a few action set pieces.

The film was shot in various international locations, including Bangkok, Thailand; Sofia, Bulgaria; and the resort island of Koh Samui, Thailand, to visually represent Arthur Bishop's globe-trotting mission.
