Watching this movie, you get the nagging feeling that the filmmakers were just going through the motion of creating a generic action film and could care less about presenting anything new on the screen.To say the bad guys were one-dimensional and derivative would be the understatement of the year. Jessica Alba's character was painful to watch. A school teacher with martial arts skills out of the blue like that? I don't think so. Tommy Lee Jones could've played his role in his sleep. As a matter of fact, he WAS asleep since he was shown in his pajamas. Skip this turkey and look for action elsewhere.

This movie really is really awful. When it started in Brazil I thought great. Nice scenery. Lots of attractive men. I should have known when the location changed from Brazil to Thailand.I got as far as the first sex scene. Why use abused children as a plot contrivance while the lead is banging a woman who looks young enough to be his daughter. Really offensive.As it turns out Alba is 36 not 16 to his 50 but the dreadful image is still there.Doesn't Thailand have any normal women? Or attractive men?

When you want to watch a movie with Jason statham, out at looking for some action. But this does not mean you don't mind if the story of the film be totally bullshit..Unfortunately the director and the writer of this movie are not aware of this fact, and they come up with a movie with totally poor content. If a 5-year- old girl wants to make a story, she will probably have better logic. The sort is unbelievably stupid.. This is that sort of movies that that just pay some famous actors and actress to make film more actractive.. in fact aside from famous actors others factors involved in the movie are completely ridiculous. The story is totally nonsense...even action scenes are mostly laughable.. The writer had an attempt to make a contract killer a good person who cares about others and this exacerbates the situation.

I read the bad reviews, and had to scroll down quite a way to find a half-decent one. When I am in the mood for an entertaining action movie, I am prepared to suspend a LOT of disbelief and I can forgive very very big plot holes. And I enjoyed this film.Jason Statham is his own brand, I personally LOVE both Crank movies, Transporter 1-3 are lots of fun; The Mechanic I enjoyed more on second viewing, and expecting more of the same from Mechanic: Resurrection I wasn't disappointed. The Statham does his thing, he's not worried about the plot, why would he be? Jessica Alba should make more action movies, she, along with Michelle Rodriguez, could each carry an action franchise in their own right.If you have enjoyed Statham movies before, you could probably EASILY find a worse way of spending 90 minutes of your life than watching this movie.
