Our take
Arthur Bishop is forced into a series of killings after a woman he cares about is taken hostage. Mechanic: Resurrection moves quickly from one violent job to the next, with bloody fights and gunfire. A trafficking reference adds another ugly note. We would wait until 16.
Uplifting themes
Bishop acts to save someone he loves, but the body count stays huge across the missions. The film rewards skillful killing more than peace as a goal The hero is a professional killer doing more killing to fix a kidnapping. Admirable traits are buried under violence, so he is a poor fit for young kids
Story (may spoil tone)
Arthur Bishop thought he had put his murderous past behind him when his most formidable foe kidnaps the love of his life. Now he is forced to travel the globe to complete three impossible assassinations, and do what he does best, make them look like accidents.

Talk after watching
- Bishop tries to save one person by killing others. Can that trade ever be justified?
- How does the film treat trafficking when it is mentioned versus what we actually see on screen?
