Somebody defined Insanity as being doing the same thing and expecting different results. I suppose a certain level of insanity is needed to watch low budget action movies in the hope that I’m going to watch a good movie (I’ve lost count of how many movies starring Scott Adkins that I have watched that I have been disappointed about). Well I have finally found a Scott Adkins movie that I liked, I would say loved but I’m not sure if I am ready to say the L word when its regards to movies starring Scott Adkins.
For those of you who might be interested Accident Man series of comic strips written by British comic writer Pat Mills and Tony Skinner. The stories were initially printed in Toxic! in the early 1990s.
Accident Man was directed by Jesse V. Johnson and it made up for the last the movie that I watched that was directed by Johnson Green Street Hooligans 2.
I suppose what was lacking from all of the movies of Adkins starred that I’ve hated was that they where bland and did not give him much room to flex any potential that he might have. What struck me about Accident Man was that in combined the slick sense of cool that you would expect from a British crime movie and the creativity with its action sequences that you would expect from a comic book movie. One of its draw backs was its budget which did not allow the movie to have any action sequences on the scale that you would readily associate with a comic book movie.
