The movie about an actual accountant was followed up by one about a straight up killer going through a mid-life crisis and doing no accounting whatsoever - unless you consider counting kills. The first half of the movie requires a re-watch to understand what one just watches because the scenes just seem completely disconnected to the entire movie. Some of them might actually have nothing to do with the story are just filler or serve as a "show of power" with no effect on the story. Despite the entire story being revealed, the whole time one would be posing the question: what does this have to do with an accountant? Even the final scenes just raises the question: how in the world would he know? He just went on a rampage for some superhuman hunch? The previous movie made certain things plausible, but this one just is a disconnected mess that forgets to explain things and does a bunch hand-waving "you know he's superhuman, so he can do this". All in all, if you think you're getting another "accountant" follow-up, you'll be disappointed. This is a Rambo meets X-Men meets The Punisher meets midlife crisis movie using "The Account" characters. If that's your feel, you'll enjoy it.

"Accountant 2" is an inadequate sequel to a vastly superior, original action thriller. Regrettably, unlike the original film this is a production that doesn't know what it wants to be. Is it an action film or perhaps a comedy? The result is confused and frankly, irritating. The poorly devised comedic elements get in the way of what should be a sophisticated, serious, action film. Its akin to a moron with a air horn and bad jokes, turning up at a Shakespeare festival. Suffice to say, you can probably skip the first twenty or so minutes of this film and it wont make an iotas difference, to the story. Unless, of course, you enjoy watching an accountant with an autism spectrum disorder, try to date the cast, of desperate house wives. Who in their right mind, thought that contrivance, was even remotely humorous. What comes after is alright from an exposition driven perspective but again, it undermines the basis of the core story. A lone wolf character, trapped in his own world, who is interesting and engaging, in large part, for that reason. What the script clumsily does instead is try a "buddy buddy" team up. The results not great and sadly the dismal, dysfunctional humour, that essent

To be honest, I’d completely forgotten about the original “Accountant” (2016) so wasn’t expecting much from this. Thing is, it’s quite good fun as the meticulous bean-counter with some deep, dark, secrets (Ben Affleck) has to team up with his estranged brother “Braxton” (Jon Bernthal) and an even less willing government agent “Medina” (Cynthia Addai-Robinson) to try to discover just why her boss (J.K. Simmons) was gunned down after a clandestine meeting in a dodgy nightclub. It seems that the siblings have more in common that we (or she) might have expected, and when their techniques manage to successfully marry one’s access to cutting edge technology with the other’s propensity to punch first and sweep up after, she finds herself terribly conflicted. It all seems to come down to some heinous people-trafficking thugs who will stop at nothing to protect their lucrative business and to thwart their investigations, and so some high-stakes assassins are soon on the trail of our intrepid trio. Nope, there’s nothing especially original here. It’s a sort of “John Wick” meets the “A-Team” sort of exercise that allows Affleck to sport a rather odd-sounding accent and Bernthal to wander arou
