Touted erroneously as a remake of the 1972 Charles Bronson action flick, but more of a thriller with post-9/11 implications, The Mechanic is a tediously contrived Jason Statham vehicle by British director Simon West (Con Air, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider).
With a promising setup and bankable cast, the new Disney family flick You Again might have been a decent lightweight romantic comedy, as its promotional bumph and trailers have led us to believe.
