The 21st century has not been kind to the action movie genre. After two decades of Arnold, Sly, Seagal, and JCVD snapping necks and cashing checks, it felt like the genre lost its way in the 2000s. We needed a hero not just to beat the bad guys, but to save tried-and-true action movies from going the way of the dodo. That hero was Jason Statham, and you can watch him do what he does best in “The Mechanic” FREE on Plex this month.

Sure, this might be a remake, but it’s a remake of a classic 1972 flick starring another action-movie legend: Charles Bronson. Statham plays a hired assassin who specializes in killing people and making it look like an accident.
For what seemed like another throwaway action movie, The Mechanic boasts a pretty strong supporting cast (Ben Foster, Donald Sutherland, and Tony Goldwyn) and a director (Simon West) with two pretty strong credits under his belt: Con Air and the music video for Rick Astley’s “Never Gonna Give You Up.” Now, put the bunny back in the box before you get RickRolled.
You always know what to expect from a Jason Statham movie: bullets, explosions, beatdowns, and that irresistibly raspy British accent. What more do you need? If you want more depth than that, go watch an artsy-fartsy movie. We’re here for things to go, “BOOM!”
