Directed by action icon Dolph Lundgren, “The Mechanik” centers on Nick Cherenko (Lundgren), a Soviet Special Forces agent living and working in Russia. He flees the country when bloodthirsty gangsters massacre his wife and child. On the lam, Cherenko escapes to L.A., where he slips into a quiet life as a mechanic — that is, until he is offered blood money to find a young Russian heiress.
