"Mechanic". The actors of one of the most notable films about contract killings

Currently, the nostalgic tendency to release modern action movies in the style of the 80's or to shoot remakes of old militants does not give up positions. After discoverer Sylvester Stallone and his "The Expendables" appeared a lot of such pictures, among which the criminal thriller with elements of the thriller "Mechanic" (actors of the first plan: D.Statham, B. Foster, T. Goldween) stands out prominently. The film is shot in the old style, saturated with a tough, brutal action, charismatic characters. This is a pure male water ribbon with a severe age rating of R.

Classic thriller

The film "Mechanic" is a remake of the same name of Michael Winner 1972 release. The film was directed by Simon West. The author's approach of the creator of the "Air Prison" surprised many fans of the original tape. Remake turned out to be very gloomy, but nevertheless very dynamic, with the presence of a mass of zashtampovannyh genre components. With the 1972 film, he practically does not associate anything: other victims, situations, heroes. However, over forty years the very approach to creating militants has changed markedly. Film critics do not recommend looking for a connection between the two paintings, since there is very little in common. However, adaptation to the conditions of harsh modernity went to the project for good, the film "Mechanic" has a rating according to IMDb: 6.60.

The gloominess and dramatic nature of what is happening are well emphasized by the gray tones prevailing in the picture. Action on style closer to the creation of Phillip Atwell "War." Compare with the "Adrenaline", "Carrier" tape "Mechanic" actors who participated in the production of the film, do not recommend. This is a completely independent product.

Plot

As in any other classic action film, the story is simplified to such a stage that its vicissitudes do not interfere with the main thing - chases, melee, shooting and the ideal plans to eliminate the ordered goals. The protagonist Arthur Bishop (Jason Statham) - "mechanic" (hired killer-perfectionist). After the death of a close friend takes care of the son (Ben Foster) of the deceased. He teaches the boy everything that he knows and knows himself. Soon they are already bringing together the death of various criminal elements: rapists, murderers, liars and bandits.

Ideal candidacy

Popularly beloved hero of militants Jason Statham was an ideal candidate for the main role of film. He appears in front of the audience in the usual role: a lot, but shoots accurately, fights and seduces beauties with his irresistible charisma. Nevertheless, in the project of Simon West, he is not familiar to everyone unidirectional killer-bone, as, for example, in all parts of the "Carrier". Statham presents his hero with an aesthetic professional, an expert in his work. The mechanic assembles a retro car and listens to the classics exclusively on vinyl records. In the film, very much is maintained by the charisma and brutality of the actor. His stony face, with a single muscle movement that conveys the full range of emotions experienced, will not bother spectators for a long time.

English actor, who started the road to success with a modeling career, is known for the works of Guy Ritchie: "Revolver", "Big Kush". The debut of Statham is the film "Cards, Money, Two Barrels", which was also put by Richie. Since 2000, Jason's film career has developed rapidly, the "Adrenaline" diary was released, followed by the "Carrier" franchise and the series "The Expendables". At this time, the filmography of the actor has 50 paintings. In 2016 will be released sequel action movie in 2010, which will again star Jason Statham, - "Mechanic: Resurrection."

Pupil-companion

Beautifully depicts the image of the protagonist appeared on a tragic coincidence of circumstances student-partner Steve, which reincarnated Ben Foster. The actor, who is different from the impudent teenager, does not go to the forefront of the narrative, but he does not go into the shadow of the entire continuation of the film. The presence of his character in the action movie allows the creators to demonstrate the infamous conflict of generations, widely used in movies on killer themes. Beginning "professionals" are trying to take it by heart, not paying attention to small details, making a lot of mistakes. Troubles have to be discarded by wise experiences of mentors.

Foster is not too familiar to a wide audience, but this did not stop the actor from playing his role. Steve McKenna does not have a gram of a stupid teenager from the "Love Virus". Ben Foster "Mechanics" felt, so his character is perfectly aligned with the atmosphere of the picture. The actor was able to correctly convey the emotions and mood of his character. The most significant works in the career of the actor are roles in the following films: "X-Men: The Last Battle", "Pandorum", "And the Storm", "Warcraft" and, of course, the "Mechanic". Actors who worked with Foster, predict him a bright future.

Actors' Ensemble

In general, judging the actor's game is quite difficult, since it is typically genre. Severe faces, menacing looks, scraps of harsh phrases. Against the backdrop of Foster and Statham, their brutal Spartan images, the occasional appearance of Harry McKenna, the character of Donald Sutherland, is like the advent of aliens. In a world of violent violence, where everyone is ready to destroy every second, his hero laughs, looks at others through rose-colored glasses, even on the threshold of his own violent death. His presence is the greatest contrast fighter. The Canadian actor is known for the films "Time to Kill", "Pride and Prejudice", "Hunger Games" (all parts) and so on.

Tony Goldwyn, who played the role of Dean, is best known for the role of the antagonist Karl Bruener in the melodrama of 1990 "Ghost". American actor was in demand in the 90's, then his career went into decline. Participation in the production of the militant "Mechanic" actors-colleagues in the shop called an attempt to resuscitate the dying popularity. Chance actor was realized - in 2014 he was invited to blockbuster "Divergent".

Workdays of the killers

With all the unobtrusive plot and vivacity of the action scenes behind all the characters in the film, the characters and characters are visible, which encourages those watching to experience their fate, as much as possible to empathize with the hero of the furious action movie. Characters do not scatter words, throwing in short, short phrases that do not bother the viewer. All actors are worthy of praise and all sorts of praises.
