Did anyone see the first 'Mechanic' movie? Did anything about it make you want to see 'Mechanic:Resurrection'? -- nm - Diva Aug 24, 08:42 34
- Bronson was great in it -- nm - Peglegpete Aug 24, 09:27
- I did see it and found it disposable, but Donald Sutherland was good in it. I'll watch this one on Vudu, same as most of the B-movie stuff. -- nm - David Aug 24, 09:22
- I agree with Roger More (if you know what I mean)I pretty much always like Statham -- nm - con_carne Aug 24, 08:53
- yes - no. I'd rather do another Transporter -- nm - Epiphany Aug 24, 08:50 3
  - didn't they get someone else to star in those? -- nm - Diva Aug 24, 08:53 2
    - yeah, Transporter Refueled starring Ed Skrein (Ajax from Deadpool). It wasn't very good. -- nm - decline Aug 24, 08:56
    - yes and I didn't bother -- nm - Epiphany Aug 24, 08:55
- No, and I can't fathom why he'd do another one after his well-received Spy role -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 24, 08:46 11
  - He really made a fool of himself in Spy. It was a good thing to do once. Once. -- nm - con_carne Aug 24, 09:13 2
    - Not even the fool aspect, but a decent buddy cop movie - Will Hunting Aug 24, 09:26 1
      - See, I have zero problems with anything you just said - con_carne Aug 24, 09:49
  - This is his wheelhouse. "Low-budget action star" gives more opportunities and $$$ than "humourous supporting meathead" - Roger More Aug 24, 08:50 3
    - There can't be that much money in a movie that's likely to gross what, 15mil? - Will Hunting Aug 24, 09:12 2
      - International and digital video money. He'd earn more than playing second banana in Spy or the villain in F&F - Roger More Aug 24, 09:19 1
        
        (I should add an IMO - I don't know what Statham gets paid for sure, but I expect he'd have more leverage in a Statham movie than in a supporting role - Roger More Aug 24, 09:21
  - he's so fun in 'Spy'. -- nm - Diva Aug 24, 08:47 3
    - "I move like a *fucking* shadow." *crashes into waitress* -- nm - Shaun Aug 24, 09:33 2

- No, but I appreciate the pool scene in the trailer. -- nm - Spawn Aug 24, 08:45
- No, but I can always give Jason Statham a chance, and at least the locations are interesting. -- nm - Roger More Aug 24, 08:45 4
  - will you pay 2 see it in a theatre? -- nm - Diva Aug 24, 08:58 3
    - Oh no. I may check it out on DVD (but I haven't seen the Mechanic yet so...) -- nm - Roger More Aug 24, 09:02 2
      - I imagine it would be tough to grasp without seeing the first one (notatall). :) -- nm - Diva Aug 24, 09:03 1

    - did you go to the theatre and pay cash. money. for the first one? -- nm - Diva Aug 24, 08:47 3
      - I just keep reminding myself - movies go to an August release schedule to die -- nm - Epiphany Aug 24, 08:55
      - of course not. - decline Aug 24, 08:48 1
        
        ahh...so this is something you deal with in the privacy of your own home. i get it. :) -- nm - Diva Aug 24, 08:49
people, trust me when I tell you, get yourself a will and / or power of attorney just in case. - groiny Aug 24, 08:40 3
- Ugh. -- nm - Spawn Aug 24, 09:01
- hang in there - big hugs -- nm - Epiphany Aug 24, 08:51
- And a personal trust doesn't hurt either. -- nm - Meg Aug 24, 08:46
