Audiences who saw Jason Statham act in the comedy Spy last year might have thought he should completely switch to this genre. Because his talkative, flamboyant and clumsy spy character Rick Ford makes viewers laugh from beginning to end. However, that was just a short break for Jason Statham from top action movies that made viewers’ hearts pound like The Transporter series, The Expendables series or Fast & Furious 7.
This coming August, he will return to the big screen with a Statham-esque character: the notorious assassin Arthur Bishop in the action movie Mechanic: Resurrection, the sequel to The Mechanic (2011). This is a remake of the 1972 film of the same name starring Charles Bronson.
Arthur Bishop is an assassin with almost superhuman skills. In the latest trailer for Mechanic: Resurrection, viewers witnessed Bishop demonstrating his skills in assassinating a tycoon at the second most dangerous swimming pool in the world. Especially with the appearance of hot beauty Jessica Alba. The film’s fast pace is mixed with a bit of humor, combined with action elements raised to a new level, making viewers can’t wait to go to the theater to see this “mechanic” guy at work.

In an interview a few days ago, Jessica Alba opened up about the upcoming movie Mechanic: Resurrection and co-star Jason Statham. She said: “I have never met anyone like him. He is a person with iron discipline, has a thorough awareness of his body and physical strength in action scenes. On set, Jason Statham is real. working at 200% all the time. So for me, it’s amazing to see someone as professional and serious as Jason Statham doing what he does caring, passionate and really wanting it to be perfect. He performed action scenes that I have never seen in my life.”
Arthur Bishop used to be a “mechanic” – Mafia slang for cold-blooded hired killers. His forte is creating murder cases like bad accidents or suicides. It’s been 5 years since he went into hiding and found the love of his life: Gina (Jessica Alba), but his past as an assassin still hasn’t seemed to give up on him. Gina was suddenly kidnapped by a mysterious criminal gang and asked Arthur Bishop to carry out three assassinations. Of course, the stubborn and proud assassin Arthur Bishop refused that request, shook hands with one of the three victims on the blacklist and began the hunt to kill the kidnappers to save the beauty.
