The Mechanic. 2011.
Arthur Bishop who is a hitman is assigned to take out his mentor and friend Harry after a botched operation. Harry's son Steve is taken under Arthur's wing and teaches him the tricks of the trade and uncover who set it up for Harry's death.
A decent modern remake from the 70s Charles Bronson thriller, Jason Statham teams with Ben Foster as the young apprentice who quickly learns how to be a contract killer. Although Donald Sutherland is only in the film for a short while he does bring good acting to his character. Tony Goldwyn plays Arthur's boss who manages to be outsmarted by his daughter says a lot for a man who can organise a hit but can't organise himself to stay alive. Decent action packed film.
