If you loved Death Wish II, try The Mechanic

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Michael Winner, and they both carry the raw mood tag, and they sit in Action / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to Death Wish II, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Mechanic is

Nice, France. A ticking watch. An assassin’s life of opulent isolation. He mentors his latest mark's son in the finer points of the killing game. Apprentice and master become partners. A Euro-crime classic that thrives on taciturn amorality.
