Accident Man 2: Hitman’s Holiday, 2022
Four years after the first film, Mike
Fallon returns as the Accident Man,
now finding himself vacationing in
Malta. However, tranquility is not
on the itinerary. He's thrust into
action against the world’s premier
assassins to safeguard the
unappreciative son of a mafia boss,
rescue his sole friend, and
reconcile with his volatile father
figure. Amidst the stunning yet
treacherous landscapes of Malta,
Fallon must navigate a perilous
path, confronting deadly
adversaries and inner demons,
turning his "holiday" into anything
but leisurely.
Accident Man: Hitman’s Holiday" heralds the comeback of Scott Adkins as the titular anti-hero in a sequel that
elevates both action and humor. Shot within a swift 22-day period, the film showcases Adkins’ martial arts
finesse against a diverse array of foes. Given Adkins' frequent cameo appearances, witnessing him take center
stage once more is truly gratifying and reaffirms his rightful place there.”
The sequel opens with Adkins narrating his impromptu journey from Heathrow to Malta, where he finds
himself entangled in a lucrative assignment: safeguarding the son of a formidable mafia figure. With Finicky
Fred as a bargaining chip and a slew of top assassins descending upon the island, Adkins must rely on his
combat prowess to thwart their deadly intentions.
Any doubts regarding the sequel's ability to capture the distinctively British, foul-mouthed tone of the original
are swiftly dispelled. From Adkins cruising the Maltese streets on his Triumph motorcycle to his exasperation
upon learning the truth about Maltesers, the film's humor is as sharp as its action, balanced skillfully with
adrenaline-fueled sequences. Adkins, who also contributes as a writer, ensures his character retains his
charisma and complexity. The ensemble cast, featuring Ray Stevenson as Big Ray, enriches the narrative with
depth and humor, fostering engaging dynamics.

While some may argue Boyka remains Adkins' defining role, the potential
for further installments suggests Mike Fallon is the true testament to the
British star's talents.
"Accident Man: Hitman’s Holiday" stakes its claim as one of the best martial
arts films of the 2020s thus far. In conclusion, it's a worthy successor to its
predecessor, catering to action enthusiasts seeking a mix of intense fights
and hearty laughs.
Brutal and funny: “Is he dead? Now he is!”
Visually, the film is a delight, with Malta's picturesque backdrop enhancing its high-energy sequences. While
the subplot revolving around "even killers needing companionship" and Fallon's interpersonal dynamics with
Ray Stevenson may not resonate as strongly as his quest for vengeance in the original, and despite occasional
CGI shortcomings, these are minor quibbles in a sequel that excels on all fronts. With its blend of forced
laxative ingestion, delusional assassins, and inventive combat, "Accident Man: Hitman’s Holiday" offers a
rollicking good time.
With Scott Adkins leading the charge, this holiday is one worth embarking on.
The Trailer
We all need friends
In this film Scott Adkins is giving Mike Fallon a heart. “It's hard to root for a
character that doesn't care about anyone, and is so selfish, and basically
will kill anything with a heartbeat as long as you pay him. We made this
fiilm about friendship, and just say, "Look, even if you're a stone-cold killer,
put on this earth to extinguish lives, we all need friends." We all need
mates, don't we? Otherwise, it can be a lonely existence. Even these
assassins need friends. Because if you haven't got that, what have you
got?”
