Bronson-The Mechanic DVD Review

[Mark Heide]

The Mechanic is one of my favorite Charles Bronson movies. Of course, he plays a mob hit man, but what makes the film interesting is how he accomplishes his task. When he gets an assignment he studies his victim, just like a poker player studies his opponents. I find many similarities in this film between being a mechanic and a professional poker player. Anyway, MGM did an excellent restoration of visuals and sound for this release on DVD. I would like more long winded responses this time, especially from John Cole. If you hate it, at least explain why you do.

Any comments welcome.
