The Mechanic [2K Restored Edition]

[Machine Translation] A man's romance sparkles in the midst of a horrific gun battle! A superb hit movie for adults who know the difference! Director Michael Winner, known for his masculine crime action films, teamed up with Charles Bronson before "Farewell to the Wolf" to create this crime suspense film. The film features spectacular action scenes such as building explosions, car chases, and gun battles, but it is the hard-boiled storytelling that brings out the pride, aesthetics, loneliness, and sadness of a man living in a ruthless world that is truly remarkable. The twist in the end of the film is also a real surprise. --Bishop is a taciturn and cool assassin who is called "The Mechanic" because of his artful and flawless work. One day, he is ordered by the organization to assassinate his late father's best friend, Harry, and he does his job with precision and without any personal feelings, until he happens to meet Harry's son, Steve. Bishop sees the potential of Stevie as an assassin, who is ruthlessly rational and shows no signs of being upset by his father's death, and he takes him on as an apprentice, teaching him the techniques and philosophy of killing.
