Accident Man: Hitman's Holiday

Hey, I liked this comic derived action better than the drivel of Marvel and DC at this point.

Actually I think Mike Fallon and Deadpool would be a great team. But whatever on that.

Adkins is always spot on, and the major studios don't do him justice in giving him supporting roles.

Accident Man and Debt Collector are brilliant in their way, and this one gave Adkins even more cred as a lead.

Poco was a great character, the best of the killers coming after him.

Sarah Chang was awesome, and I hope we see more of her.

If you're a fan of Adkins this one is great.

Personally, I want to see more Debt Collector and Boyka. Adkins has made some great action characters, and this movie did not disappoint with his Mike Fallon role.

I hadn't seen the first film and only knew Scott Adkins from badly acted low budget action thrillers where you constantly skip ahead to the next fight scene, because everything in between is just atrocious.

This film however is just pure bonkers from beginning to end. Every character except the accident man himself is and over the top caricature. The story is about as stupid as can be and doesn't have any pretention about being anything other. There's no moral here, no statement about human nature or current affairs, no attempt at gritty realism, it's just a beavis and butthead style avalanche of insults, fart and poop jokes and pure idiocy.

Just one example (not a spoiler since it's more or less seen in the trailer): Scott Adkins has to save the idiot son of a mafia family, who for no reason whatsoever decides to swallow the tracking device the bad guys use to track him. Adkins drags the idiot who's wearing a rabbit costume and covered in the first assassin's blood into a pharmacy, force feeds him laxatives only to later have closeup shots of the idiot pooping, and of the tracker covered in diarrhea. What the actual f... ?

The fight scenes are completely ridiculous as well with the antagonists introduced in video game like manner. They are wonderfully choreographed with some great camera work. Lots of wide angle shots, no closeup shaky cam nonsense. With some shots I really wondered how they did it. CGI is used in some shots, and it looks terrible. They don't even try to hide it, which somehow makes it more acceptable. The soundtrack is appropriately noisy and goofy.

I'm not sure what to classify this movie as. Martial Arts Comedy? Martial Arts Spoof?

What I do know is I didn't feel the need to fast forward once, and that the fight scene were absolutely impressive and entertaining.

Turn your brain off and enjoy.

I enjoyed this movie. Not the best action movie, not even amongst Scott Adkins's best, but still a fun watch. The first movie was a nice surprise when I saw it, and I didn't know there were going to make a sequel, so there goes another nice one.

Accident Man was a violent, well-choreographed martial arts thriller film, with some dark humour hints here and there, but the sequel is more of a comedy, making fun of buddy movies, secret agencies flicks such as 007 or Mission: Impossible and the like. It's like a spoof of many clichéd movies but still they were trying to make an original story and not a collage of previous actioneers.

Overall I think the first one was better than this sequel, but AC2 - Hitman's Holiday is a decent, funny, not too smart but not too dumb, reasonably enjoyable martial arts action flick that goes to show not every action flick is unworthy of your precious time. Watch it with a beer and some popcorn or chips and most of all, with an open mind and not expecting too much of it.

This one is well worth the watch if you like to watch movies for entertainment vs being preached at and woke-splaned. None of that here. All the action you'll ever need and the plot fits the action. Definitely get your popcorn ready ahead of time. The acting is better than I expected as well. The characters that are supposed to be likable ARE, the ones you're not supposed to like are pretty dislikable as well. The fight with the clown was definitely over the top. Pretty much non-stop entertainment with this movie. If you only watch movies for social commentary and angst, this isn't the movie for you.

You won't find any quick cuts to the action if you're familiar with anything that Adkins has been a part of.

The stakes have been significantly increased in Accident Man: Hitman's Holiday. There is no such thing as "too much action" in this movie, as the director takes advantage of every opportunity to add an original battle sequence into the mix of events. This is a very funny movie, which is of equal importance. As a result of this eccentric cast of individuals, the movie is lively and amusing. There are times when you will find yourself chortling and laughing out loud.

So, as an Adkins fan, i love this one too much.
