Are you planning to see "The Mechanic" (Hollywood, dvd, Netflix)

[JohnHAdams]

I'm looking forward to this one. Anyone heard any special insights?

I might catch it on DVD. But this isn't a movie screaming at me to fork up the money for a movie ticket.

Is it a remake of the 1972 movie?
I saw a trailer for it today, and it did not knock me out or anything, but I might rent the dvd.

I'm sure its a 2 hour explosion. Sometimes....I'm in the mood for that.

Seems to have the same title as the Charles Bronson movie. From the trailer, the plot seems very different.

It's a remake, meaning they took the basic idea and changed everything.

I am, yes. Donald Sutherland, Jason Statham and Ben Foster shoot, drive fast and blow stuff up. What's not to like?

Looks a lot like a Bond movie without the "san-wa-fairre".

I'm intrigued by assassinations. I've talked to an ex mechanic for awhile....he told me how easy I would be to take out. Nice to hear.

I think almost anyone would be VERY easy to eliminate if one studies up enough.

Its good Hollywood but never interested me. People would be far to easy. I'd rather shoot an elk....now that is a challenge if one is not on a farm or ranch.

I will watch any movie with the scrumptious Mr. Statham in it, so the answer is yes.

I'll wait for DVD or streaming on Netflix.
