1 Mechanic: Resurrection (2016)

Finally, Jason Statham has shown that he is one of the most skilled actors when the subject is action. To that end, Mechanic: Resurrection makes for a nice bookend to the weekend on Prime Video. In the action thriller, Statham reprises his role of Arthur Bishop from 2011's The Mechanic, now having to kill three people in nearly impossible situations, and having to make the deaths look like accidents.
