This is Bags of Action. The podcast is devoted to action movies, both old and new, but all of them awesome! In this episode Steve and Pete talk about The Mechanic from 2011 starring Jason Statham. As it turns out, neither of us knew, this film was a remake.

This film turned out to be not what either host was expecting. Both are fans of Statham and yet somehow this was their first time they'd done a film with him in the lead.

Pete shares some knowledge on the background of the film, its heritage, and its connection to Cannon films.
