I think he's great, the only masculine/ entertaining action star today. With a bigger budget he could be great.

The Mechanic has one of the best endings in cinema history. While the other movies have good endings, nothing shocked me as much as the ending of The Mechanic.

That was great and very annoying at the same time, thanks for finding it.

Basically he just gives me a feel like he's trying way to hard to be tough instead of exuding it. The best example I can think of is a James Bond like Daniel Craig who try's hard to build up his body and put on tough facial expressions. And then a Bond like Connery or Lazenby who just walk are themselves but you can feel they are tough.

He's alright for a new age action star but I feel he's basically a phony, although I don't think there is any modern star who matches up to Bronson for toughness.

I'll start by saying that no one could ever replace Bronson or replicate what he brought to the screen. Lately though i've noticed the similarities between Jason Statham and Charles Bronson. Both of these men are known for their awesome physiques, their "cheap" action movies and also for playing the same roles as tough guys with limited dialogue. They also both have quite an intimidating persona compared to actors such as Bruce Willis and Clint Eastwood etc. Do you agree or have anyone else that comes to mind?

That's alright, yea it looks great. Judging by the comments on youtube I could only find it on the Onar Films website. www.onarfilms.com/

Agreed, the great thing about this movie is that Majestyk's character is nearly as bad as his enemies.No tough guy actor other than Bronson could have conveyed how harsh and unforgiving this character was. All round a very good action movie with a great car chase and a good ending.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSx5r3CGh84An episode of the Clint Eastwood t.v. series, guest starring Charles Bronson. Interesting for anyone hoping they would have starred together.

There's not much to this movie and quite dissapointing, the car chase was ok. Mainy scenes pertaining to Bronson's physicality eg: beating the man up in the elevator etc are the best parts of the movie.

Agreed, extremely uncharacteristic for a Bronson or Western movie but surprising in a good way.
