The first ACCIDENT MAN film really took me by surprise with how good of action sequences it had and this bigger budgeted sequel is even better! This sequel has hitman Adkins now living in Malta (probably cheaper to shoot a movie there) where he's forced to protect the idiotic son of a mafia boss. That setup allows for a rogue's gallery of colorful hitmen attempting to kill the mafioso's offspring and for Adkins to fight them off in a string of fight sequences. This sequel also leans more into comedy, which makes the film feel more like a Jackie Chan action/comedy, which also benefits the film. Most importantly, the fight sequences are even better than in the original, which is really saying something considering how good the fights were in the first film (rivaling JOHN WICK in my opinion). Interestingly, Adkins would one year later appear in JOHN WICK 4 (in a fat suit) in the memorable role of Killa, the corpulent head of the German branch of The High Table and a mob boss in Berlin. But overall, ACCIDENT MAN 2: HITMAN'S HOLIDAY is a must-see for fans of martial arts action.
