Mechanic: Resurrection

Arthur Bishop thinks his blood stained past is behind him, but a ruthless foe grabs the woman he loves and pulls him back into the world of hit men. With a clock ticking, he must travel across continents to pull off three assassinations that look like accidents. He leans on his cool technical skill, manipulating environments and timing to keep his target alive long enough for the perfect fall. He faces a relentless pursuer and a tangled web of loyalties, making every move a test of nerve and precision. The mission pushes him to the edge, testing what he will do to protect what he cares about, and what it costs him. The thrills come fast and the tension sticks.

Critics gave a mixed response, noting brisk pacing and strong stunt work but a familiar formula. The film explores revenge and control while asking how far someone will go to protect loved ones.
