Seasoned hitman Arthur Bishop (Jason Statham) sets out to avenge the brutal murder of his mentor, Harry (Donald Sutherland), and finds himself joined by Harry's vengeful son (Ben Foster), who is eager to follow in his late father's footsteps, in this remake of the 1972 action thriller starring Charles Bronson and Jan-Michael Vincent. Harry taught Arthur how to be a detached killer who always hits his mark. Now Harry is gone, and for the first time in Arthur's career it's about to get personal. As lone-wolf assassin Arthur prepares to hunt down Harry's killers, he is approached by his fallen mentor's vengeful son, Steve, who is eager to take up the lethal tools of his father's trade. Unadept at working with a partner yet compelled to help Steve carry on the family tradition, Arthur agrees to take him on as a protégé. Later, the duo begins to methodically eliminate their targets, forging a partnership born of blood with each new hit. The closer Arthur and Steve get to the name at the top of their list, however, the more apparent it becomes that his job will be anything but business as usual. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

    I saw a pre-screening of this film at MOA in Bloomington, MN. Jason Statham plays the usual predicatable 'wise, tough guy' role he always plays. Donald Sutherland's role is really short. It's just a cameo in the beginning of the film before Jason's character offs him. Ben Foster does a terrific job as an incouragable apprentice. Overall, a great action flick (in that lots of things get blown up and nameless guys get beat up and killed), but more humor in this film would have made it better.

    It kept me interested and the action and the acting were there.

    This movie had nothing going for it except good acting. It was disgusting in all things as it should be for anyone with morals and accountability to any principles. Movies such as this stoop to the lowest rung to be labeled "action."
