Review of Accident Man

Accident Man (2018)
6/10
Good Idea Made Worse
15 March 2023
There are a number of decent and even good assassin movies out there. This is not one of them. This comic attempt at an action thriller fell short because of its sub-standard treatment o an actually pretty good plot. In the mold of Kill Bill Vol. 1 and Vol 2, with the principal character having to face various specialized assassins, Scott Adkins as Mike Fallon goes on the warpath with a weak script, littered with cliques, weak and mostly mindless fight scenes that do not do justice to the intriguing assassin theme of brilliant ways of killing people. Instead of the entertaining Pierce Brosnan from The Matador (2005) or light-hearted Brad Pitt from Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2007) or Bullet Train (2022), we get Mike Fallon struggling with inconsistent fight resolution scenes. Even John Cusack was given a more entertaining effort in Grosse Pointe Blank (1997) and Mads Mikkelsen was given a solid script that enabled him to perform in a similar but decent assassin movie, Polar (2019). Accident Man failed to meet the production value that the intriguing story deserved.
