Theatrical Trailer for The Mechanic

A couple of weeks ago we posted a red-band trailer for The Mechanic starring Jason Statham and Ben Foster as hitmen, master and apprentice. A day or so later the theatrical trailer was released, but somehow we missed it at the time. We're embedding it below.

Here's the complete synopsis of the film from the studio: Arthur Bishop (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 partnership is born. But while in pursuit of their ultimate mark, deceptions threaten to surface and those hired to fix problems become problems themselves.

A remake of the 1972 Charles Bronson film, also titled The Mechanic, The Mechanic opens in theaters January 28th, 2011.
