mayaamardaniah Choreography and action were good to waste 1 hr 45. Alas the acting was plastic poor, yet suited the tongue in cheek script and screen play. Mike Fallon should get a better agent who gives him quality material

jonathanmark-77048 Mike Fallon, the Accident Man, is a stone cold killer whose methodical hits baffle the police and delight his clients. He is the best at what he does. But when a loved one is dragged into the London underworld and murdered by his own crew, Fallon is forced to rip apart the life he knew in order to hold those accountable and avenge the one person who actually meant something to him.I've always enjoyed Scott Adkins ever since I first saw him in the first Ninja film years ago and of course the undisputed sequels, this was one I was always curious about ever since it was announced and it didn't disappoint. He plays a character who while very arrogant at times has a certain charm about him, Adkins does a solid job both acting and especially in the action sequences.The supporting cast also does a good job especially Michael Jai White and Ray Park who have fun banter with each other throughout the film. The story while not very original is solid and interesting and is never boring unlike some direct to DVD stuff. The direction by Jesse V Johnson is very solid throughout moving the movie at a good pace and handles the action very well with no shaky cam, just wide shots which is what I prefer. Overall, Accident Man is a fun and entertaining direct to DVD film with a solid story, a good cast, good direction, and very fun action to keep you entertained. Definitely check it out when you can, you won't regret it.

lavatch In the bonus segment of the DVD of "Accident Man," the film's director, Jesse V. Johnson, described his film as "'The Office' with violence." As the behind-the-scenes track rolled, one of the cast members described her experience in working on the film as "having a blast."But the director and performers may not have recognized just how unpleasant this film was to the viewers. Johnson described his concept of the lead character Mike Fallon as follows: "I didn't wanna lighten him up; I wanted to keep it very dark." But at some point, the brakes should have been applied to the fight sequences and death scenes. The character of Fallon was based on a comic strip character. But there was nothing that required Johnson to make the character as dark as he was portrayed in the film. As it turned out, the director got exactly what he intended: a gloomy, depressing, and one-note action picture. This would have been a better film if it were "lightened up" a little.There was good potential in the film to humanize Fallon's character more completely, especially in the portrayal of his love for his ex-girlfriend Beth. But it was difficult to see a sensitive side of Fallon when characters like Charlie are consistently telling him what an awful person he is. "Accident Man" is typical of so many British thrillers that go overboard on the violence at the expense of character development. There were some talented performers with skills in martial arts and fight choreography. But the ultimate effect of the film was unwholesome and nasty.
