Title: More than just an action classic
Review: The Mechanic has some pretty good action sequences but it is the period decor and clothing that is the real star of this movie some 40 years later.Check out Charles Bronson's man-pad with its cheesy chocolate brown interior and Moroccan-style lamps. And what's going on with a fearsome hit man wearing red pyjamas?Then there's the surreal white mansion with its blue trimming and billiard-table green carpet - an absolute riot.Best of all is Hollywood's idea of a 'swinging party' that takes place at Jan Michael Vincent's pad - full of 'hippies' straight out of central casting.Gotta love the baddy's mansion's antiquated security system which looks like it has been stolen from an old episode of Lost In Space. Then there are all those touch dial phones.Classic Bronson, classic action, classic 70s!
