(Jason Statham) is a 'mechanic' - an elite assassin
with a strict code and unique talent for cleanly
eliminating targets. It's a job that requires professional
perfection and total detachment, and Bishop is the best
in the business. But when his mentor and close friend
Harry (Donald Sutherland) is murdered, Bishop is
anything but detached. His next assignment is
self-imposed - he wants those responsible dead.
His mission grows complicated when Harry's son
Steve (Ben Foster) approaches him with the same
vengeful goal and a determination to learn Bishop's
trade. Bishop has always acted alone but he can't turn
his back on Harry's son. A methodical hit man takes an
impulsive student deep into his world and a deadly
