Maidgethma Wonderfully offbeat film!

Cortechba Overrated

Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Andy_Aitken I went into this movie with an open view. Being a big Scott Adkins fan as we are both from the UK and we both ride Triumphs, him in the movie and me in real life. I've been a long tome fan and have been admiring his work both in the Asian film market and the Undisputed franchise though I'm torn with this movie. Yes it could have shown his athleticism and acting prowess more than it did as I know for a fact he is capable of more and I would have loved to have seen his fight with Michael Jai White expanded more and felt that Michael was holding back through his scenes against Scott as to not show his own skills as much as he could have. That said it was an entertaining film with some good acting and Ray Stevenson brought an awesome character who I actually liked to the screen though I'd have loved to see a final fight with him in it. Overall I liked this movie, yes it has flaws but as a whole I'd be totally stoked to add it to my collection. I won't lie, Scott Adkins when given the chance can act well and can kick ass with the best of them, truely a way underrated actor in Hollywood and worthy of a shot of fame way larger than he has now.

alan_holloway_2 Back in the early 1990s a bunch of UK comic creators decided to have a go at doing their own comic so they could control the content and keep the profits. The comic was called Toxic and it was a good idea handled badly. One of the undisputed highlights was Accident Man, created by writers Pat Mills and Tony Skinner in tandem (visually brought to life by Martin Edmund and later Duke Mighten), and it introduced us to Mike Fallon, an assassin whose hits were made to look like accidents, hence the name. Full of violence and black humour, it was a cracking read while it lasted and it was obvious to all it would make a great film. Thing is, no one made it...Enter Scott Adkins. Adkins is a veteran Uk actor and action movie star. Not just a pretty face and a lethal right foot, he is a professional actor who is also a very good martial artist. Coinicidentally, he has been wanting to make an Accident Man movie since reading it as a kid. Not known for his screenwriting, this is his first attempt (with another newbie writer Stu Small), after putting up his own money to secure the rights. Basically, it's a total passion project for Adkins, and passion is very important when making a movie, right?First up, I have to say that I loved Accident Man through and through. The plot is taken from the comic itself, although embellished for filmic purposes, as are several characters. For those who get annoyed with film adaptations messing with the source material this is a godsend - this would even bring a smile to Alan Moore's face (okay, that might be stretching it). Adkins himself is pretty spot on as Fallon, and would have been inspired casting even if he weren't otherwise involved. Elsewhere he ropes in stunt and fighting mates like Michael jai White, Ray Park and the impreesive Amy Johnston to bring some of Fallon's fellow hit persons to life. Also in the mix is Ray Stevenson as the owner of the assassins bar where they all congregate and get their jobs. (There's more to the character than this but I don't want to spoil anything). Throw in some recognisable, reliable British character actors and you have a surprisingly solid cast.As far as action goes, it's all done brilliantly. All the players are experts at on screen (and off) butt kicking, so the level of expertise rivals some of Jackie Chan's movies. The direction eschews the usual Hollywood fast cutting for lengthier shots showcasing the moves involved and it makes quite a difference to the feel of the film. A nice touch is Fallon's voiceover that permeates the film, bringing some very nice humour to the proceedings and mirroring the narration in the comic exactly. The whole thing is very British, very violent and very amusing and very not safe for work.If you enjoed Adkins in the Undisputed movies this is a must.If you've not read the comic, it's well worth checking out. If you liked Deadpool you will love this as a more grass roots version (Adkins and Reynolds are quite similar looking, too). If you like guff like Rise Of The Foot Soldier and the like you'll love this for the cockney smack ups and superior plot/dialogue. If you just lik action movies with decent fights you'll love this. Most of all, if you ARE a fan of the comic you have no excuse, as this is one of the best comic to screen adaptaions yet. Set up nicely for a sequel, Accident Man doesn't slip up even once.

ionut-91824 Accident Man (2018) I watched him just because he is with Scott Adkins master of martial arts and an actor, anyway an actor who has been so far distributed in B movies, but known for his role as Boyka in the Undisputed series.The Accident Man movie reminded me of The Boondock Saints (1999) because they are similar, the theme is somewhat common, I say somewhat because they are criminals, I do not want to make a spoiler, nevertheless it does not rise to the level of 99 '.The film in this case is based on a comic book by an Englishman, probably from there arrogance and the ugly characters.A 6-shot film on the line :)

Mark Thomas REVIEW - ACCIDENT MAN Occasionally I come across a film which as I'm watching it I can't decide if I like it or don't, this is one such film. Basically a simple to understand story of revenge and redemption but with some over the top characters thrown into the mix which actually rather than detract from the film actually make it funny, yes funny. In essence this film is using the formula created by Jackie Chan but as a British martial arts film with comedy elements. I think it was this which threw me at first because its not a formula that I can even remember watching in a British film. After the realisation that the comedy and characters were intentional I started to enjoy the film more and more. Ok its not Jackie Chan and never will be but it was still a damn good watch especially the martial arts scenes. Scott Adkins is finally coming into his own and about time to. Rating 8 out of 10
