Accident

The viewer realizes that what comes around goes around when watching how the flawless machinery of the organization of contract killers begins to creak, mistakes and inexplicable failures start piling up, and the gang boss starts to feel like he's in hot water. For many years, he sent others to eternity, now he is succumbing to paranoia, thinking that someone is trying his own tricks on him. The movie is a carefully crafted work in every aspect, and it is a joy to watch especially thanks to the amazing camera work. I won't give it five stars due to the overly constructed script - the assassinations may be perfectly combined games, but in real life, they would likely fail. Otherwise, I have no objections. The hesitant reviews of many are rather related to the fact that they expected a somewhat different genre and a different kind of spectacle. It is not an action film in the least, and certainly not in the spirit of the famous Hong Kong action movies. It is also more suited for a festival audience than for regular pop culture fans. Overall impression: 80%. (05.02.2016)
