Starring: Louis Koo, Richi Ren, Shui-Fan Fung, Michelle Ye, Suet Lam
Ho, a.k.a. the Brain (a haunting Louis Koo), is part of a professional hit organization with a diabolical modus operandi. Ho and his team create intricately crafted Rube Goldberg-like occurrences that end up killing their targeted victims. It’s the perfect crime as their hits appear on the surface to be unfortunate accidents.

And if you could get away with murder, then wouldn't being a high paid assassin seem like a reasonable lifestyle? This is the intriguing premise for the movie Accident. This movie goes further though by depicting what could happen if you were almost killed in an accident, and began suspecting someone was out to get you!
