There were no teens in this movie. There are 25-36 year olds playing teens. They could have at least let them use their native accents

This is the epitome of trashy television. No plot, doesn't make sense. You hate the character development because the actors did a poor job. The script is unbelievable, I found myself laughing at times, the absurdity of what the characters actually say and do. I don't usually review movies, but this one was so bad, it compelled me to save somebody else's time from watching this. What an accident of a movie.

One reason I liked this movie... because now I know I can release a film and it won't be the worst ever.

I dont know what I hated more about this movie.. Bad acting, no story, Dumb Screenplay, idiotic dialogues, lazy direction and unrealistic scenario..

...Like a story, a plot, some character development, motives behind what was going on, a middle, and an end. What a piece of crap this was! By reading the box cover and reading this review, you know as much about it as I do... and I just watched it! That was the biggest ACCIDENT! ...watching it. I've had better times sitting in a car waiting for the police after a REAL accident than I did watching this garbage. Let's hear it for a director that can't tell a proper story. One star was as low as I could go!! So I rated it much higher than I would have otherwise. The best part was when the credits rolled... because it was over.

Two minutes into the movie I knew I was in trouble, they are supposed to be in the U.S. (going to Lake Tahoe) and they used a right side drive vehicle (I imagine this was filmed in RSA)

Really not just saying this. This is the worst movie i've ever seen!

My wife begged me to turn this off. I wouldn't. I left it on to the bitter end. We are headed for Divorce Court.

Accident is the kind of movie you have to watch with attention to see the details. The opening is a very cool uncut shot and I wish they explained how they did the one in the toilets. Sure they didn't have a big budget but it might be one of the best camera work I have seen in years. If you like David Fincher, you will love this one with long and complex shots. The story is okay and the tension is there. Cool suprises and a fun twist. Just give the guy a bigger budget or the reboot of Transformers ;)

If someone need something to get pissed off. If someone suffers from masochism. It should be recommended.

Yes, the whole movie was a terrible mistake but can someone please help me understand; I thought I saw the girls getting hit by a car at the end

Despite not being completely sold on the premise, with it sounding somewhat idiotic and treading familiar ground too much, and seeing and getting tired of my fair share of bad films recently, watched 'Accident' anyway as someone who likes thriller a lot and with the cover looking intriguing.

'Accident' is sadly however yet another film seen recently, hence some reiteration because the exact same strengths and flaws those films are present here, that to me was incredibly disappointing considering its potential which it doesn't do anywhere near enough with. As a film it's terrible, with a plethora of problems (huge ones too) and doesn't do enough with its potential, which was hardly small. There is next to nothing to recommend.

Lets start with the sole positive. The scenery is atmospheric.

Unfortunately, it is not done justice by the rather direct to video schlocky way it's shot and edited, it was very clear that the film was made in a rush with no care or enthusiasm.

Going on further to the negatives, the story does feel paper thin, disjointed and over-stretched and some of it feels vague, under-explained in the last third where the film especially became duller, more predictable, more senseless and less suspenseful. Too many characters are too sketchy and with nowhere near enough to make one want to endear to them. Their annoying and illogical decision making and behaviours frustrates.

Making the film feel bland and forgettable with not enough heart put into it. The effects are ropy at best, the sound quality is obvious and utilised cheaply (being too loud in the build ups and people's reactions) and it's best not mentioning the uniformly lumbering and histrionic acting with no sense of genuine terror or care showing on anybody's faces or in their body language, it was all so what.

Dialogue can be stilted and rambling, with lots of clichés and no depth whatsoever, while the pace goes to a standstill very quickly and drags on forever with very little going on worth caring about, never recovering. Found too many the supposedly shocking moments not surprising or frightening and it was also rather dreary, due to the excessive obviousness, a lot of dumb and vague moments and explanations and the complete lack of tension and suspense.

Would not have minded the lack of originality (the film is extremely derivative and in a dumbed and watered down way) if the story and atmosphere were at least alright in execution, in reality they were both dreadfully done. Everything is silly, acted and written as if such a dangerous situation in reality had nothing at stake and it was too clear how it was going to end.

There are often nonsensical and confusing character motivations, while too many of the things to make you shocked are far from creative or thrilling. The ending can be seen from miles away and impossible to take seriously, no matter how hard one tries.

'Accident' is completely unimaginative, very repetitive and more ridiculous than it is tense, completely failing to show any sense of horror and resorting to cheap typical genre tropes with nothing new. Some badly sagging momentum too. The direction is leaden, inexperience seems to be all over the film, and the music doesn't really fit.

Concluding, irredeemably awful. 1/10 Bethany Cox

I hate that when I watch something and feel like there are two hours of my life I will never get back. How is it 4 stupid people get to get together and can't use their brains as one person's. They couldn't leave the car but she was able to kill the trained agent..

I came across this on the tellie this evening and thought I'd give it a try....

Do not waste your life on this film. Go get a haircut or grab a coffee with an insignificant person in your life....but do yourself a favour and do not watch this film (for many reasons)!

This is a great movie. I have to say first, that I am not some paid rewiver, or friend of the filmmakers. Watch this movie, it'll worth it. You can tell by the first few minutes, that this movie was cared for, that the makers were passionate about it. They tried different ways to make it even more interesting, and enjoyable. I'll make a list:

1. Long scenes, without cutting. I am always amazed by this technique, and this requires more work, than cutting scenes together. The first scene of the movie is already made this way, so when I saw this, I knew right away, that this would be special. 2. The title. Not much, right? In most films, they just put the names on the screen in white, and then write out the title. In the 'Accident' they made this cool too. Okay, not Deadpool cool, but the effort shows. 3. Camera movement. Pair it with the long scenes, this is an awsome combo. It moves (flows) up, down, slow motion, inside the car, through the glass etc. There is one scene, where the accident happens, and the driver hits the breaks, and it is so cool, when the camera goes inside the car, and shows, how the break hits the tires. 4. Production design: I don't know the budget of this movie, I am guessing not much, but it rarely shows. It looks well made, great, sharp picture quality, nothing sticks out, you can see clearly everything. And I say again, it is well made. 5. Action: bunch of people stuck in an upside down car. What action? I'll tell you, there will be some suprises, a lot of action movie would be envy of the Accident.

Of course, it is not a perfect movie, you can say bad things about the acting, or why the characters are stupid, or why the script goes that, or this way... But this Dan Tondowski's first movie, and as a first movie, it is frickin' well made.

The only good thing about this movie is the fact that the shots were actually pretty nice. Now, the COLORS, that's another story. In the very beginning there were scenes where the color was very odd and way too bright blue for it, even if it was sunny out. It get better throughout the movie. The acting was TERRIBLE and the plot was okay. The girls are not on their right minds - who the hell gets in a car with a guy who says "get in the car" and she goes "what?" "Well you need a ride don't you?" Uh no thank you. The dialogue needed major work.
