Accident Man: Hitmanโs Holiday (2022)ย
Accident Man: Hitmanโs Holiday (2022) is the action-packed sequel to Accident Man (2018), following the skilled but unconventional hitman, Mike Fallon (Scott Adkins). After the events of the first film, Mike has left behind his troubled past in London and is now operating in Malta, enjoying the sun while taking on assassination contracts. True to his reputation, he continues to orchestrate elaborate "accidents" to make his hits look like unfortunate mishaps rather than outright murders. However, his peaceful getaway is short-lived when his old friend and mentor, Big Ray (Ray Stevenson), unexpectedly reenters his life, dragging him into a dangerous new assignment. Mike is forced to protect the son of a ruthless crime boss, Mrs. Zuuzer, who rules the underworld with an iron fist. Her reckless, spoiled son, Dante, has made powerful enemies, and an army of highly skilled assassins has been sent to eliminate him. Despite his initial reluctance, Mike has no choice but to accept the job when Mrs. Zuuzer makes it clear that failure would mean his own death. With the entire city turning into a battleground, Mike must use his intelligence, combat skills, and signature creativity to keep Dante alive while staying ahead of the world's deadliest contract killers.
As the hunt intensifies, Mike finds himself facing off against a colorful and deadly lineup of assassins, each with their own unique style and skill set. Among them are Siu-Ling, a lethal martial artist with lightning-fast reflexes; The Butcher, a sadistic executioner known for his brute strength; and an eccentric clown-themed killer named Poco, whose unpredictable attacks make him one of the most dangerous threats Mike has ever faced. Alongside his reluctant bodyguard duties, Mike reunites with his old friend, Finicky Fred (Perry Benson), a weapons expert and gadget inventor who helps him set up traps and ambushes. The dynamic between Mike and Dante creates plenty of comedic moments, as Mike grows increasingly frustrated with Danteโs arrogance and lack of self-preservation. Despite Danteโs obnoxious nature, Mike slowly realizes that his charge is not entirely hopeless and begins to train him in basic survival tactics. However, with every passing moment, the assassins grow bolder and more relentless, pushing Mike to his limits. The action escalates with intense fight sequences, high-speed chases, and brutal hand-to-hand combat, showcasing Scott Adkinsโ signature martial arts prowess.
The filmโs climax delivers an adrenaline-fueled showdown as Mike faces off against the last remaining assassins in a final attempt to secure Danteโs safety. Betrayals and unexpected twists test Mikeโs resilience as he fights to outmaneuver his enemies while keeping Dante alive. The battle culminates in a spectacular fight against Poco, whose chaotic and sadistic nature makes him a formidable opponent. Drawing on his strategic mind and relentless fighting spirit, Mike manages to defeat the assassins, delivering justice in his own violent yet calculated way. In the aftermath, Mrs. Zuuzer upholds her end of the bargain, sparing Mikeโs life but leaving him with the realization that his work is never truly done. With Dante safe but still as insufferable as ever, Mike contemplates his next move, knowing that the world of assassins will always come knocking at his door. Accident Man: Hitmanโs Holiday blends intense action, sharp humor, and thrilling fight choreography, solidifying its place as an exhilarating sequel that keeps audiences entertained from start to finish.
