The Kirby Brothers On Directing ACCIDENT MAN: HITMAN’S HOLIDAY
Brothers George and Harry Kirby just want to entertain fans of action on screen. The pair have done this by directing more than a dozen short films where the main focus is on action and, most importantly, fun. While they honed their craft with these films (and built a sizable online fanbase to boot), George Kirby steadily established a name for himself in the Hollywood stunt industry. His most high-profile work (so far) came as the fight coordinator on the 2021 blockbuster VENOM: LET THEIR BE CARNAGE but he has also been a stunt performer on such major films as ROUGE ONE: A STAR WARS STORY, JUSTICE LEAGUE, and DOCTOR STRANGE. It was during the filming of DOCTOR STRANGE that the Kirby brothers first came to the attention of acclaimed British martial artist Scott Adkins. In them, Adkins found filmmakers with not only a strong visual style but ones […]
A Case For Better Action Movies: The Kirbys’ ACCIDENT MAN: HITMAN’S HOLIDAY Continues To Set The Standard
Four years after fighting for his life on the mean London streets and away from his former life at the once-flourishing Oasis, hitman-for-hire-turned-free agent “Miguel Fallonado” – otherwise known as the titular “Accident Man” himself, Mike Fallon (Scott Adkins), has since found himself on greener pastures making ends meet in the island country of Malta. With no friend or company other than the conveniently explosive and violent mannerisms of former waitress Siu-Ling (Sarah Chang) for his regular P.M.T. needs, it isn’t long before Fallon realizes his world is about to get just a little smaller with the appearance of fellow Oasis guild member Finicky Fred (Perry Benson), ensuing an informal reunion by way of an opportune, albeit tentative business partnership that also allows Fred to find his way to a love connection he met online. Just when things are going somewhat smoothly for the duo, Fallon and Fred are black-bagged […]
ACCIDENT MAN: HITMAN’S HOLIDAY Review: Scott Adkins Delivers One of the Best Action Films of 2022 with Hard-Hitting Aplomb!
Set after the events of the first Accident Man film, Accident Man – Hitman’s Holiday continues the story of Mike Fallon (Scott Adkins, who looks like he’s having the time of his life). After defeating the people that had betrayed him and killed his ex-girlfriend, he is in comfortable exile in Malta (the country that does NOT make Maltesers). He still does the odd hit on the side for monetary gain and has a drink at the bar every now and again. But at the end of the day, no matter how much he does not want to admit it, he is all by his lonesome. Well, except his baggage of guilt in which he tries to expiate himself of it thanks to the help of the enthusiastically angry Wong Siu-ling (an entertainingly ferocious Sarah Chang), who he hires to attack him as punishment. Things start to look up when […]
Scott Adkins talks ACCIDENT MAN: HITMAN’S HOLIDAY
Every new action film starring Scott Adkins is a reason to celebrate. The British actor and martial artist has long been one of the most reliable performers in the genre. Not only committed to delivering the best possible on-screen action with every new project despite any budget or schedule limitations, his “story first” mindset and dedication to the craft of acting are unparalleled among his action film contemporaries. This commitment to quality in all areas of production is readily apparent in his latest film ACCIDENT MAN: HITMAN’S HOLIDAY. This sequel to the 2018 action comedy ACCIDENT MAN, finds professional killer Mike Fallon forced to protect the insufferable heir to a powerful crime family from a series of increasingly outlandish assassins in order to save the life of an old friend who is being held captive by his charge’s vicious mob boss mother. This simple setup allows Adkins to show off his […]
