Jason Statham has built a career on being the guy you call when you need someone to take down a shark, headbutt a rock, or make a hit look like an accident. His 2016 action thriller Mechanic: Resurrection is a prime example of his signature style, but it's about to vanish from Netflix. If you haven't seen it yet, you might want to add it to your queue pronto.
The film is scheduled to leave Netflix in the UK on November 1, 2026. That gives fans just over a week to enjoy the high-octane sequel before it's gone. The story follows Arthur Bishop, the world's top hitman, who is enjoying retirement when a ruthless crime boss named Crain forces him back into action by kidnapping his girlfriend, Gina. Bishop must complete three seemingly impossible assassinations—including an arms dealer and a genocidal warlord—all while making them look like accidents. The clock is ticking, and Bishop's mission takes him across the globe in a race against time.
The cast is a who's who of talent, with Statham leading as Bishop, alongside Jessica Alba as Gina, Tommy Lee Jones as Max Adams, Michelle Yeoh as Mei, Sam Hazeldine as Crain, and John Cenatiempo as Jeremy. Directed by Dennis Gansel, the film delivers the kind of over-the-top action that Statham fans have come to expect.
Was 'Mechanic: Resurrection' a Success?
Financially, yes. With a budget of around $40 million, the movie grossed $104.5 million worldwide, including $21.2 million domestically. That's a solid return, especially considering its international appeal. Critics were less impressed, giving it a 31% score on Rotten Tomatoes, but that didn't stop action enthusiasts from enjoying the elaborate set pieces and Statham's trademark tough-guy antics.
The sequel followed 2011's The Mechanic, which was itself a remake of the 1972 Charles Bronson classic. While the first film focused on Bishop training a protégé, Resurrection went bigger and more global, trading intimate revenge for a globe-trotting spectacle.
If you're a fan of Statham's work, you might also enjoy Alan Ritchson's dark web thriller, which has found new life on Tubi. And for those who love a good thriller, check out these nine thriller series that nail it in eight episodes or less.
So, mark your calendars. Mechanic: Resurrection is leaving Netflix on November 1, 2026. Don't miss your chance to see Statham do what he does best—one last time on the platform.
