You know, like the opening credit scene was teasing the audience?

I expected way more clever, sneaky and accident kills than what we got. Even the "Accident Man" had more of these kills despite being a straight up beat-em up action movie. LAME!

Main killer basically shot everyone with a gun (or nailgun) with the exception of secretary and she basically begged him to make it look like an accident because she needed insurance money. Guess being in contract killing only pays off for the killers and the handlers. Secretary gets nothing for being in such a "high risk - high reward" business ROFL.

Him not killing the client made sense tho, it would raise too much of a fuss and someone wouldn't stop looking for the Killer. Besides, he didnt know his home address like the rest of the people he eliminated.

Yeah, but the movies like Accident Man, The Mechanic (even the original), Hitman etc, are all about the flash, the action sequence. Comparing this movie to those is like comparing James Bond movies to Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy or Little Drummer Girl.

None of his kills in the movie were really contracted, though. It was all self-preservation and/or revenge, depending on your interpretation of his motive.

The “sneaky” kills showcased during the credits illustrated how he may have handled certain jobs, but as I mentioned, he was no longer on the job after the opening scenes in Paris.
