I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

I dare say that most -- if not all -- positive reviews of this embarrasing excuse for a movie is fake. This is one of the worst action movie attempts I´ve ever seen. If it had even the slightest taste of something funny -- it doesn´t -- it could MAYBE pass as a clumsy attempt on a parody over Rock ´n Rolla. It´s beyond me how anyone can put their name on this travesty. Trust me, you do NOT want to waste your time (and certainly not money) on this BS.

This is another horrible film made by the British thriller-wannabe. The screenplay was terrible, actors hired to play those ridiculous characters were pathetic. Atkins should be aware not to take money so carelessly from those brainless British movie makers, Michael Jay White, likewise, although he already past his prime and putting on more weight he couldn't help, but he should warn Atkins not to take his fighting skills lightly and sold them cheap. Like one of the true reviewers suggested, Atkins should be more careful in choosing what kind of films he should be in, not going to the direction of Steven Seagal's current path. Use your talent wisely and try to get some real serious movie makings. If you played too many B-level or even lower level deadbeat movies, you'd wind up playing those strictly to DVD junk movies release market and would never get the chance to redeem yourself respectfully. Find some scripts with real stories, get directors who are more serious, never mingle with terrible supporting deadbeat actors, 'cause they'd drag you down with them and turn all those productions unwatchable.

Accident Man I have been surreptitiously following Scott Adkins career for a few years with films such as Ninja, Shadow of a Tear; Close Range, Savage Dog and Boyka; watching him slowly make his ascent into blockbuster movies like Dr Strange. Accident Man is a same, same but different kind of film for Scott which although, like many of his movies, follows the tried and tested storyline of revenge for a loved one; is filmed in London with a selection of accomplished and not too well known American, Irish and Scottish actors parading as cockney Brits. I wouldn't go so far as to say it is a love child of Quentin Tarrantino and Guy Richie, but there are elements of the two as well as a good dose of John Wick storyline and action. It's not a bad movie, the action is good and the storyline keeps you entertained. Jesse V. Johnson shows some potential in the direction; the acting is okay with good efforts from Ray Stevenson, Ashley Greene and David Paymer; an okay script and a raw edge with a respectable musical score. However, the film lacks depth and intrigue. Fight choreography is decent and the dry humour keeps the movie from taking itself too seriously. I would say that this is definitely a step in the right direction for Scott; I could and would like to see him in Bondesque roles. I feel he is still to have his major breakthrough part but all in all I would give this a score of 6/10.

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.
