Strengths
It is Jason, as Bishop is perfect as assassin is all throug out the movie with his stable/sharp looks, tight walks and intelligent stunts make the film worth a watch. He is the man who fits the character where audience cant think of alternative. He is right there in every frame.
Ben foster is in usual grey shade character does justice. Rest of the cast are apt.
Technically the movie photography is brilliant as well as the music. Intelligent screenplay with some fresh phrased scenes in screen with the old cliched story makes difference from the assassins movie.
Weakness
The movie is little snail pace and test the patience of the audience with less humor and high-volt action blocks.
Jason Sta them carries the movie all through his shoulder.watch it for this man's energetic performance
Verdict: 5/10( 2 for Jason,1 for Screenplay, 1 for photography and 1 for direction)
Movie canvas punch: The mechanic ....entertainer
