The Mechanic - A veteran hitman is the best at what he does. He is able to kill targets and make it look like they died from 'accidents'. Focused, knowledgable and alone - this has been Arthur Bishop's existence - that is until he takes on a young protege who he decides to train to become a 'mechanic'. I take a look at the original 1972 film The Mechanic, starring Charles Bronson and Jan Michael-Vincent and the 2011 remake starring Jason Statham and Ben Foster.
