	Author	Review
United States	Owen Gleiberman Variety	"Mechanic: Resurrection” is the movie 'The Mechanic' should have been — a bite-sized Bond film, or maybe a grittier homicidal knockoff of the 'Mission: Impossible' series"	POS
United States	Glenn Kenny rogerebert.com	"'Mechanic: Resurrection' suffers from a script that strains credulity and insults intelligence, even by the low bar set by the majority of contemporary action movies (...) Rating: ★½ (out of four)"	NEG
United States	Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter	"This franchise is badly in need of repair (...) The film is certainly watchable, thanks to the elaborately staged action sequences and Statham's killer charisma"	NEU
United States	Russ Fischer The Wrap	"'Resurrection' is bland and generic, as if the colorful heroes were cut away from some of Marvel’s cheapest setpieces"	NEG
United States	Noel Murray Los Angeles Times	"When the sequel is really clicking, it becomes action cinema in its purest visual form (...) For the rest of the movie’s running time, Statham makes moony-eyes at costar Jessica Alba and tries to convince the viewer — unconvincingly — that his movie’s plot matters"	NEU
United States	Andy Webster The New York Times	"Statham can give thanks for his part in the coming eighth installment of the turbocharged ensemble franchise 'Fast and Furious,' because his days of carrying out hits on his own may be numbered"	NEG
