Latest Mechanic: Resurrection Clip

 

Throughout the early ’00s, British actor Jason Statham found his calling with a string of pulse-pounding, balls-to-the-wall action franchises that ranged from The Transporter to the frankly ludicrous Crank. The former has found new life without The Stath at the core, though Refuelled struggled to make much of a dent at the international box office late last year.

Hoping to prove that Jason Statham still has enough star power in the tank to get bums on seats, Summit Entertainment is on the verge of launching Mechanic: Resurrection into theaters, and to drum up excitement, the latest clip has now tumbled onto the interwebs.

It heralds the return of Arthur Bishop (Statham), a man drawn back to a life he thought he left behind where his future is soon put under threat. Complicating matters is series newcomer Jessica Alba as Gina, a sharp and mysterious woman who, as we see from today’s clip, isn’t averse to throwing a punch or two herself.
Whether it’s considered a reboot, revival or sequel Summit Entertainment has aligned Mechanic: Resurrection for theatrical release on August 26.  Director Dennis Gansel is calling the shots behind the lens.
