Accident Man: Hitman's Holiday

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.

Written down, the setup may sound a bit labored, but rest assured that the film flies though the premise-setting and always gives the elaborate fighting, shooting, and twisting sequences priority. Directed by George Kirby and Harry Kirby, the brothers establish their own distinctive style in the action sequences, different from Jesse V. Johnson's ace direction on the first film.

Accident Man: Hitman's Holiday looks quite good, especially compared with its budgetary counterparts in the action-movie sweepstakes. Audiences don't care what your movie cost, they just want to make sure that the movie is worth their investment in time and the cost of a ticket or legal download.

On that score, Scott Adkins and the entire filmmaking team bring entertainment value in abundance to the screen.

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.

I saw the first one, and kind'a figured a 'one way plot'.

Just saw the second one. Lotsa great acting. Lotsa great action. Lotsa humour. Characters didn't take themselves too seriously. Or, well, those who were written that way, at least.

There a a few good twists and turns in there. If you pay attention to the details, you can see the end coming. It was a surprisingly good tie-up to everything. I still haven't figured if it was planned that way, or whether they just took advantage of the setup.

Unlike very few movies, I do come back to this one every once in a while to watch some scenes.

What I do want to know, what flavour of Benelli was handled by Big Ray?

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.
