Audit: Jason Statham in 'Workman: Resurrection,' a Hit Man on Cruise Control 

Toward the begin of "Technician: Resurrection," the hit man Arthur Bishop (Jason Statham) positively isn't grieving his dead protégé from "The Mechanic" (Simon West's 2011 revamp of a Charles Bronson motion picture). No, he's simply hanging out in an imperfect advanced scenery of Rio de Janeiro, attempting to overlook his blood-scattered résumé.

In any case, for Bishop, there is no getaway. At the point when his old most despised foe, the conspiring specialist Crain (Sam Hazeldine), steals Bishop's new love, Gina (Jessica Alba), Bishop is pressured into continuing his previous exchange. He should convey three "executes" for Crain, in his mark style: making the deaths give off an impression of being mischances.

What's more, Bishop is off on a travelog — to a tropical jail to knock off an African warlord; Sydney, Australia, to nail a human trafficker (an extravagant skyscraper pool is included); and Bulgaria to chase an arms merchant (Tommy Lee Jones, frolicking in red shades, a silk robe, night robe and shoes). In Thailand, we meet Bishop's companion the landlord Mei (the previous hand to hand fighting goddess Michelle Yeoh, misused in a harmless character part; definitely she could have supplied a kick or a flip some place here). Occasions finish up with a slaughter on a yacht, complete with the time-regarded ticking unstable, and a gesture to the main Statham "Workman."

The German chief Dennis Gansel, making his Hollywood introduction, does not have the reflexive energy of prior Statham executives like Mr. West and Louis Leterrier ("The Transporter"). Notwithstanding Mr. Jones, "Restoration," while skillfully altered, would be without cleverness, a region where Mr. Statham has indicated guarantee previously. (See: the Melissa McCarthy vehicle "Spy.") Mostly, the motion picture proposes what might as well be called 1970s European delicate center, all diffuse sun-doused outsides populated by appealing stars on a fascinating working get-away.


The sole disadvantage for these entertainers must be the material — Ms. Yeoh coasts through her part; Mr. Jones cuts loose like a tyke in a sandbox; and Ms. Alba battles defenselessly to animate her lady in trouble. For an on-screen character who, with the "Transporter" movies, once pervaded the activity class with another feeling of plausibility and winking refinement, Mr. Statham is on journey control. His lone unease shows up in affection scenes with Ms. Alba, where he returns to a portion of the cumbersomeness he showed with Jennifer Lopez in comparable successions in their doomed escapade, "Parker."

Mr. Statham can express appreciation as far as concerns him in the coming eighth portion of the turbocharged troupe establishment "Quick and Furious," in light of the fact that his days of completing hits all alone might be numbered.

"Workman: Resurrection" is evaluated R (Under 17 requires going with guardian or grown-up gatekeeper) for disgusting dialect and viciousness. Running time: 1 hour 39 minutes.
