New Trailer For The Mechanic

The previous trailer for The Mechanic was quite cool, but felt more as if it was designed for distributors than the audience, but now a new, action-packed promo has arrived, which it has to be said, does make the film look like it'll be worth watching. Jason Statham gets to step into Charles Bronson's shoes , a reimagining of the 1972 Bronson movie of the same name (which was directed by Michael Winner). Statham plays an elite hitman who befriends a young man (Ben Foster) who wants to learn the trade. However it becomes clear that the apprentice may have an ulterior motive, which puts both their lives in danger. Directed by Simon West (Con Air) It looks like Statham's back to doing what he does best - kicking-ass. The film hits UK cinemas on January 28th, 2011.
