Jason Statham Fans Have 9 Days To Watch His Franchise-Killing Action Sequel

Jason Statham has built a reputation as an action icon with franchises like The Transporter, The Meg, Fast X and Expendables, alongside newer entries such as The Beekeeper and A Working Man. He’s earned praise for Shelter and is known for playing lone-wolf characters pulled back into violent lives for urgent reasons.

Among his catalog is The Mechanic, directed by Simon West, which earned $76.3 million worldwide and holds a 54 percent Rotten Tomatoes rating. Its sequel, Mechanic: Resurrection, follows Arthur Bishop as he’s forced out of retirement when Gina (Jessica Alba) is kidnapped; Bishop must carry out three impossible assassinations made to look like accidents.

That film, featuring Tommy Lee Jones, Sam Hazeldine and Michelle Yeoh, grossed $125.8 million worldwide but sits at 30 percent on Rotten Tomatoes and has become a popcorn rewatch that often crops up in streaming top 10s. Mechanic: Resurrection will leave HBO Max on 28 February.
