Every Scott Adkins movie demonstrates his fighting abilities, but few also highlight his acting chops. To the extent this movie succeeds, it does so on his performance and narration. He does an admirable job, playing a assassin anti-hero who has to fight his way to the truth of his ex-girlfriend’s demise.
I can’t say I loved the movie though. Of the many fights, only those between Adkins and Michael Jai White held my interest, and that made the last 30 minutes really drag. Amy Johnston seemed either saddled with clunky dialogue or had little idea how to deliver it. As the Accident Man regains some of his humanity, the movie loses its fun and steam.
Still, some great fights and a fun first 40 minutes! Recommended to any action fans, probably a pass for others though.
Stoked to know it has a sequel, eager to dip back into this world.
