Rating:  - Misleading to say the least.
Judging from the title, you would expect good old Charlie to roll up his sleeves and get under the hood of a few cars. There is not one car that is worked on in the entire movie!!! Is it too much to ask that I see a silver screen icon up to his elbows in car grease? I am all for the killing scenes, but how can you have a movie called "The Mechanic" and not have the main actor at least work on a few cars in between killings.

Rating: - Low budget cheese...
It's a shame Charles Bronson didn't have the budget, writing, casting, and production resources that Stephen Segal, Schwartzenegger, and other great action film guys had.

Rating:  - Charles Bronson fan
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.
Rating:  - Multi-sports
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.
Rating: - Charles in charge!
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.
