Customer Rating: Summary: Charles Bronson fan Comment: I am a Charles Bronson fan so I enjoyed the DVD. It is a little dated with the 70's slang but I can dig it. Customer Rating: Summary: Multi-sports Comment: I find it's a great movie. The first 35 minutes are a little long, but then this movie charmed me for its multiple sports that the hit man practices. I like the psychological side of it too, it's not a typical shooter, but a refined sportsman. Vidi Napoli E Pui Muri. Its one of my favorites. Customer Rating: Summary: Charles in charge! Comment: When someone says the name Charles Bronson, I immediately think of "The Mechanic." The image of Bronson brushing his hair out of his eyes at the begining is classic. Jan-Michael Vincent of "White line fever" White Line Feverfame co-stars as well. Customer Rating: Summary: The Machanic Comment: An excellant film shows Charles Bronson at his best the steely eyed hero out as usual to wow the watching public and as usual chooses a script to suit I think his rugged personality.
Truly an actor pulling you through every twist and turn. I can thoroughly recommend this DVD as it is exciting all the way and you never know what the character is thinking before the next something else happens. A film though to watch I think on one of those rainy days with your popcorn, may be a bit slow in places but you need to get right into it to appreciate it. If you like the hitman type of film then this is it but it is not difficult sometimes to feel sorry for the victim. Customer Rating: Summary: One of Charles Bronson's best movies Comment: This movie is everything I remembered and more. I think it is one of his best. He is just too cool.
