Thriller film, 'The Mechanic' P1

Went out the other day and caught this film on offer in the shop, This is a really good thriller as far as i watched (About an hour in) including different camera angles to increase tension. The plot is that the main character (Jason Statham) is a well trained assassin who in his business is called 'A Mechanic'. After we get to know how his character works in generally we see that he is given his new target, his closest friend. For a few minutes we see that the main role is thinking his choices through, what he should do, and IF he should do that. Eventually it cuts to the scene with 'the target'. His phone rings  and we cut between the shots of the main role and the target as they have their conversation, we get the feeling that the main role is helping the target escape but as soon as the target reaches his escape route given by the main role we see that it was a trap and that the main role is waiting there. after killing the target that was also his best friend we cut to the funeral, we see that the main role talks to the son of his best friend. the son knows what the main role does for a living and asks to know how to be like him to kill the man who killed his dad. This is about where i left the story but for what i saw i thought it had been a real thrill-ride and that there is still a lot in store for the rest of the film. I will post P2 once i have seen the rest of the film.
