I love Accident's unusual premise. A group of hit men, led by Louis Koo, are in the business of staging convoluted accidents for money, a technique that makes it near impossible for authorities to even think it was murder. But when things go pear-shaped and they lose one of their own in an ACCIDENT, Koo's character goes over the deep end trying to find who is using their own techniques against them. In a world where accidents may not be accidents at all, paranoia reigns. Or to put it in Chinese terms, if you manipulate Fortune, she might take that as a slight. I'm particularly impressed at how little dialog there is in the film, letting us draw our own conclusions (both right and wrong) through the character's eyes, showing rather than telling. It certainly makes for a quieter film than the opening sequence would have you believe, but a deeper one too.

Pretty clever. Well-written and tense thriller.
