 Misleading to say the least. December 29, 2008

Judging from the title, you would expect good old Charlie to roll up his sleeves and get under the hood of a few cars. There is not one car that is worked on in the entire movie!!! Is it too much to ask that I see a silver screen icon up to his elbows in car grease? I am all for the killing scenes, but how can you have a movie called "The Mechanic" and not have the main actor at least work on a few cars in between killings. I understand that the movie was later renamed, but the damage has been done. If anyone has any old footage of Charles Bronson working on cars it would be much appreciated.
Low budget cheese... December 27, 2008

It's a shame Charles Bronson didn't have the budget, writing, casting, and production resources that Stephen Segal, Schwartzenegger, and other great action film guys had. He was great in big budget films when he had first-rate directors and casting like "The Magnificent Seven" and "The Great Escape". But as much as I wanted to like Bronson in his own "kill the bad guys" films, they are nothing more than poor imitations of the multitude of cheap TV shows from the 1970's produced by Stephen J. Cannell. I paid the price to discover the truth. You shouldn't if you're smart...

I am a Charles Bronson fan so I enjoyed the DVD. It is a little dated with the 70's slang but I can dig it.

I find it's a great movie. The first 35 minutes are a little long, but then this movie charmed me for its multiple sports that the hit man practices. I like the psychological side of it too, it's not a typical shooter, but a refined sportsman. Vidi Napoli E Pui Muri. Its one of my favorites.
Charles in charge! September 20, 2008

When someone says the name Charles Bronson, I immediately think of "The Mechanic." The image of Bronson brushing his hair out of his eyes at the begining is classic. Jan-Michael Vincent of "White line fever" White Line Feverfame co-stars as well.
