Accident Man

A parody of John Wick's Assassin world with cunt buster Scott Adkins and the unknown Amy Johnston, whom we need to see in more action movies. Otherwise there is too much talking and the action itself is woefully poorly scored, and the sure bet in the form of Michael Jai White didn’t pay off this time. He looks bored and his, and almost all the other action passages look unfinished and sloppy. (02.08.2020)

I honestly didn't believe that Scott Adkins would make a good action movie and I didn't trust Jesse V. Johnson at all, but miracles can happen and these two made quite possibly the best and most crystallized B-movie of recent years. It impresses not only with uncompromising fights with broken limbs and a choreography that leaves your breathless, but also with a very compelling story revolving around assassins (where every single person involved is interesting and different), at times I felt like I was watching an unofficial Tarantino. A big plus are also the excellent wisecracks that made me go to my knees a few times and the surprisingly intelligent dialogues. This B movie has everything that any other should have. Michael Jai White and Ray Stevenson are a nice cherry on an already pretty tasty cake. Great, this was a good one and after the trailer I didn’t want to watch it. 90% (16.02.2018)

Scott Adkins is in very good form here, not only as an actor but also as a screenwriter. It's not exactly a screenwriting gem, but he wrote it to his heart's content, and then handled the lead role well, even with the help of other, quite interesting actors, though not necessarily from the top echelon. This is a good undemanding action film that I enjoyed. (20.02.2018)

A film that appeared out of nowhere, where almost no one knew about it (perhaps only the most dedicated fans of Scott Adkins), but the result is more than satisfactory. I wouldn’t go overboard with five-star ratings; after all, the film shows qualities of a B or even C-grade movie. However, it must be noted that the fight scenes are well-shot. When a director has the chance to work with such quality martial arts actors as Michael Jai White, Ray Park, and of course, Adkins, entertainment is guaranteed. The detailed choreography should warm any viewer’s heart, making it enjoyable to watch. I liked the English setting, with the characters brimming with British wit. I was especially pleased to see Ray Stevenson from Northern Ireland in a supporting role; he’s perfect for such roles, playing a tough pub boss you wouldn’t want to mess with (that sawed-off shotgun hidden under the counter isn’t just for show). The revenge story has been done many times before, offering no groundbreaking plot, but it passes quickly, wrapped in a well-executed musical score, and the ending didn’t disappoint. The rating is fitting, and I give the film 66%. (28.02.2018)
