highly recommended

Charles Bronson delivers [in this] action-drenched (Variety) gangster thriller that delves into the dangerous minds of the underworld's most elite killers. Visually alive (Cue) and 'totally engrossing (The Hollywood Reporter), The Mechanic is a movie you won't want to miss! Arthur Bishop (Bronson) is a mob hit man who operates in a world of his own an uncompromising world where conventional rules of morality don't apply and where one wrong move could cost himhis life! He's always worked alone but, as age catches up with him, Bishop takes on a competent andruthless apprentice (Jan-Michael Vincent) and teaches him everything he knows. Together they becomean unmatchable team of globetrotting killers until the pupil's ruthlessness puts him on a collisioncourse with his teacher!

Master Mechanic

This is a movie that i always think of for it's use of what is not said rather than the other way around.
A glance or facial expression merit more than words.
Charles Bronson is in brilliant form,he assumes his part and lives it with an ease that can only be seen in the best actors.
Jan Michael-Vincent was an inspired choice as the rookie and eventual rival to Bronson's throne.
It is so sad to see how Jan Michael's career and his private life came off the rails so spectacularly within the Hollywood bubble(which for him was the problem as the booze and drugs were too easy to find.).
He had the looks,but their was a great deal of talent and ease about his manner when acting,he was indeed a sad loss to serious acting,he can still be seen in B movies,but honestly dont bother it is very unsettling.
One problem that will always haunt Charles Bronson and comes screaming to the front of their memories will be the Death Wish series which is even for a fan like myself drivel barring the first movie,it has to be hurdled before people are willing to give such fine pieces of Bronson's as this one a viewing,believe me i have tried persuading friends to give it a chance.
Buy this movie and the chances are you will be looking for more Bronson,and their is a great library to choose from.
As a final thought you will feel like a couch potato next to Mr Bronson's tough and well sculpted body,
most of us could live with that but when i realised his age in many of these movies,
i completely gave up any thoughts of hitting the gym and instead worked my hand into a new bag of potato chips(haha).

Dated But Still Excellent!

Saw this title when I was a very young man and enjoyed it then as I still enjoy it today. A very good title and a brilliant surprize conclusion!Worthy of your time and the minimal cost of purchase. Bravo again to Amazon for offering this title for purchase!

One of Charles Bronson's best movies

This movie is everything I remembered and more. I think it is one of his best. He is just too cool.

Charles in charge!

When someone says the name Charles Bronson, I immediately think of "The Mechanic." The image of Bronson brushing his hair out of his eyes at the begining is classic. Jan-Michael Vincent of "White line fever" White Line Feverfame co-stars as well.

The Machanic

An excellant film shows Charles Bronson at his best the steely eyed hero out as usual to wow the watching public and as usual chooses a script to suit I think his rugged personality.

Truly an actor pulling you through every twist and turn. I can thoroughly recommend this DVD as it is exciting all the way and you never know what the character is thinking before the next something else happens. A film though to watch I think on one of those rainy days with your popcorn, may be a bit slow in places but you need to get right into it to appreciate it. If you like the hitman type of film then this is it but it is not difficult sometimes to feel sorry for the victim.
