John Powers on Jason Statham, who stars in the new movie The Mechanic: “Statham belongs to the tradition of heroes, from John Wayne through Harrison Ford, who are laconic to the point of grumpiness. Yet it’s not his terse toughness that makes him special. Oddly enough it’s his fastidiousness, a don’t-touch-me fussiness that runs through nearly all his movies.”
