The Russian Specialist

The Mechanik (2005) is an action thriller you can watch online on iFILM, written and directed by Dolph Lundgren, who also stars. Nikolai Cherenko is a former Russian paratrooper now living as a mechanic — seven years ago he settled his score with the drug lord who killed his family, or thought he did.

A contract from Los Angeles pulls him back to Russia: rescue a kidnapped woman from the same criminal network. Ben Cross plays the man who hires him; the film was shot mostly in Bulgaria and Germany. Lundgren keeps it lean and cold — straight revenge with no sentimentality, exactly what the tagline promises. Stream The Mechanik (2005) on iFILM.
