    Good Enough For a Late Night Flick
    I just got back from seeing a late night showing of The Mechanic. After having a long week, this film did exactly what I wanted it to do...entertain me.

    Was the plot original? No.

    Was the acting amazing? No.

    But... Was the action good? Yes.

    Was Jason Stathham in it? Yes.

    Can you ask for anything else in an action film these days? It didn't label itself as a milestone of cinematic achievement. It was marketed as an action film, with good death scenes, mildly intriguing characters, and a simple plot and it delivered exactly on cue. Go see this if you just want to see some good action stars kick-butt for a couple of hours. 6/10
