Accidents Happen

About This Movie

So, 'Accidents Happen' is this interesting little dark comedy that treads a pretty unique line between absurdity and grim reality. The premise—a guy who moonlights as a hitman for abused women—sounds bizarre, right? It’s got a quirky atmosphere, leaning into uncomfortable humor while exploring themes of morality and survival. The pacing is pretty deliberate, allowing for some thoughtful moments amidst the chaos. The performances are fairly solid, with a particularly intriguing lead who grapples with the collision of personal and professional ethics. It stands out not just for its premise but for how it captures the absurdity of life’s twists and turns. Definitely not your run-of-the-mill fare, which is what makes it worth a look.

'Accidents Happen' has had a somewhat limited presence on home media, which may pique interest among collectors. It’s not the most widely discussed film, but its unique premise and dark humor have garnered a niche following. The DVD release was modest, and there aren't many editions floating around, which can make it a bit of a gem for those who appreciate indie films with a twist. If you come across a copy, it might be worth snagging for its unusual take on a hitman’s life.
