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.

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.

This movie was better than I expected! I first though that the movie would be lame because of the title but I saw it and now is one of the best action movies I ever seen in the 70’s along with the first three movies of Dirty Harry, Enter the Dragon, Star Wars, Mad Max and The Loosers.
There is to much blah, blah, blah at times but you can just press the fast foward button anytime you want! The action scenes were GREAT, there is a long motorcycle chase with stunts and all, big explotions, car chase, grenades, gun shooting and more!!!!!! The begining and the end of the movie where the most memorable scenes.
P.S: This movie have more action than Death Wish, but Death Wish is the best movie of Charles Bronson because he looks SOOO COOL dressing all black in the dark streets of New York and the movie have a better concept.
ADIOS!
