We’re all looking forward to the first Jason Statham film of 2011 (trust us, there are many), THE MECHANIC, which arrives in UK cinemas from January 28th. To add to that excitement, the folks at IGN over in the US have debuted a red band (aka sexy, violent… mostly violent) trailer over at their site.
Arthur Bishop (Jason Statham) is a ‘mechanic’ – an elite assassin with a strict code and unique talent for cleanly eliminating targets. It’s a job that requires professional perfection and total detachment, and Bishop is the best in the business. But when his mentor and close friend Harry (Donald Sutherland) is murdered, Bishop is anything but detached. His next assignment is self-imposed – he wants those responsible dead.
His mission grows complicated when Harry’s son Steve (Ben Foster) approaches him with the same vengeful goal and a determination to learn Bishop’s trade. Bishop has always acted alone but he can’t turn his back on Harry’s son. A methodical hit man takes an impulsive student deep into his world and a deadly partnership is born. But while in pursuit of their ultimate mark, deceptions threaten to surface and those hired to fix problems become problems themselves.
Check out the trailer below. Check out our preview page for the movie with more ‘stuff’ here.
