Mechanic: Resurrection

Mechanic: Resurrection is a 2016 American action thriller film directed by Dennis Gansel and written by Philip Shelby and Tony Mosher, with a story by Shelby and Brian Pittman. It is the sequel to the 2011 film The Mechanic, which was a remake of the 1972 film of the same name. The film stars Jason Statham, Tommy Lee Jones, Jessica Alba, and Michelle Yeoh.

Mechanic: Resurrection premiered in Hollywood on August 22, 2016, and was theatrically released in the United States on August 26, 2016. It received generally negative reviews from critics, but grossed $125 million worldwide against a budget of $40 million, eclipsing the total of its predecessor.

Since faking his own death, Arthur Bishop has been living quietly in Rio de Janeiro under the name Santos. He is approached by a courier, Renee Tran, who knows his true identity and explains that her employer wishes Bishop to kill three targets and stage their deaths as accidents. Bishop escapes, eluding her mercenaries and her, and fleeing to Thailand. He takes shelter at the resort-island beach house of his friend, Mei, and learns that Tran is working for Riah Crain.

Some time later, a bruised woman, Gina Thornton, approaches Mei for first aid before returning to a boat anchored nearby. Mei sees her being beaten by a man aboard the boat and alerts Bishop. Together, they rescue Gina, but in the scuffle, the man's head hits a bollard and he dies. Bishop searches, unsuccessfully, for evidence of the man's identity, then sets the boat ablaze.

While Mei tends to Gina's injuries, Bishop finds that Gina is also connected to Crain, and concludes that he anticipated Bishop would become romantically involved with her; he would then kidnap her to make Bishop take the assassination jobs. On being confronted with his theory, Gina reveals that Crain had threatened the children's shelter in Cambodia that she runs unless she participated. Over the next few days, Bishop gets to know Gina better, and they fall in love. As expected, Crain's mercenaries arrive and abduct them.

Crain keeps Gina hostage to ensure Bishop completes the assassinations. The first target is a warlord named Krill, held in a Malaysian prison. Bishop gets himself imprisoned, and gains Krill's trust by killing a man who attempts to kill him, Krill's former right-hand man. Bishop then kills Krill himself by overdosing him with snake venom, and escapes with the help of Crain's operatives.

The next target is Adrian Cook, a Sydney-based billionaire and former trafficker of underaged sex workers. Bishop bypasses Cook's penthouse apartment's tight security, breaks the glass bottom of his overhanging pool with a tube containing chemicals, causing the glass to crack, and sending him plummeting to his death.

While relaying details of the third target, Crain allows Bishop to speak to Gina, who repositions the camera, enabling Bishop to identify Crain's boat. Bishop attempts a rescue, but Crain is able to thwart it.
