I love all things martial arts so it is a given that I am a sucker for martial arts flicks. One of my favorite martial arts action stars is Scott Adkins who has made a name for himself offering up some awesome entries into the genre including the Undisputed and Ninja franchises and more recently as one of the badass Nazarian Brothers in Day Shift currently streaming on Netflix. In 2018 Adkins starred in the film Accident Man, based off the comic from Pat Mills and Tony Skinner. Now he is back once again with Accident Man: Hitman’s Holiday with directors George Kirby and Harry Kirby taking the helm, but does it bring the promised action or will it be an accident that you can’t recover from?

Accident Man: Hitman’s Holiday follows the Accident Man, who must best the top assassins in the world, to protect the ungrateful son of a mafia boss, save the life of his only friend and rekindle his relationship with his maniacal father figure. In the sequel it features the return Ray Stevenson reprising his role of Big Ray and Perry Benson as Finicky Fred along with new additions including Sarah Chang, Faisal Mohammed, Beau Fowler, and George Fouracres.
