Crank 2 is the cinematic equivalent of punk rock. Might need to write a review to explain my logic...
 
Still, always good to watch The Stath fuck shit up. My Mrs has a big ol' crush on him, so it's never hard to convince her to watch these!

Originally, I wished he'd gone the Bond route, but I respect the path he's chosen for his career.  This movie sounds like it's right up my alley.  Definitely a rental when it comes to Netflix.
 
Handsome Rob was recently filming Safe in Philly.  They shut down Chestnut when I was nearby, but unfortunately I didn't get to see anything.

I read the review but it doesn't really matter what it said.  Stathams in it so I will go and see it.

Good review, and honestly sounds like pretty much what I expected from the movie...that is to say, Statham kicking a lot of fucking ass the way he always does. Can't wait to go see it this weekend.

I only saw the original because I got it mixed up with 'The Machinist'. 
 
I did finish watching it though. At first I thought it was a little weird that Charles Bronson would be costarring next to Christian Bale.

I loved it!  The action scenes were brilliant and made you wince.  The food grinder scene was my fave.

The Mechanic Trailer

Jason Statham plays a hitman. No, seriously! This time he's teaming up with Ben Foster in a remake of the 1970s Charles Bronson flick of the same name.
