Arthur Bishop is a veteran hit man who, owing to his penchant for making his targets' deaths seem like accidents, thinks himself an artist. It's made him very rich, but as he hits middle age, he's so depressed and lonely that he takes on one of his victim's sons, Steve McKenna, as his apprentice. Arthur puts him through a rigorous training period and brings him on several hits. As Steven improves, Arthur worries that he'll discover who killed his father.
Editor's Verdict
"The movie 'The Mechanic' is a straightforward action/thriller focused on assassination and mentorship. There are no apparent references to the Christmas season, themes, or iconography in its established plot."
