"Someone has to fix the problems."

Boxlist takeVery fast and morally murky: a stylised crime thriller, simple rather than intricate. Best if you like edge over warmth.

Synopsis

Arthur Bishop 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 he is ordered to take out his mentor and close friend Harry, Bishop is anything but detached.
