Accident Man is a 2018 martial arts action thriller film directed by Jesse V. Johnson, based on characters created by Pat Mills and Tony Skinner.
The film stars Scott Adkins, Ray Stevenson, David Paymer, Michael Jai White, and Ashley Greene.
Fellow regulars include Carnage Cliff, who kills his victims with an axe; Poison Pete; military veterans Mick and Mac; Finnicky Fred, who invents and sells unorthodox weapons; and Jane the Ripper, an expert swordswoman.
Hearing that the alleged perpetrators overdosed immediately afterwards, Mike becomes suspicious and steals the police report, where he deduces that Mick and Mac were responsible, as they specialize in disguising assassinations as random street crimes.
Mike inadvertently kills Cliff, tracks down Milton, and tortures him to reveal who ordered the hit on Beth, a man named Leonard Kent.
Back in the present, Charlie reveals that Beth had collected information on Pankot Petroleum, a corrupt Indian oil company, provided by Archie Rudd.
