FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://talkingfilms.net/the-accountant-2-review-ben-affleck-and-jon-bernthal-shine-in-a-surprisingly-superior-sequel/ "The Accountant 2 turns out to be a surprisingly superior sequel to the original, driven by the smart bet on the fraternal relationship between Ben Affleck and Jon Bernthal. Featuring more polished action set pieces, genuinely funny moments, and enough emotional depth to engage the audience, Gavin O'Connor delivers a story that is both highly entertaining and thrilling, falling short of greatness only due to an overabundance of secondary threads and occasional narrative loss of focus. Still, the impeccable chemistry of its lead duo and the honest - if imperfect - attempt to tackle sensitive topics with respect guarantee a personal recommendation for anyone looking for a pleasant night out at the movies."

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 around in his Calvins exuding a sort of comedy menace that his tattoos do nothing to increase. It’s the latter man who entertainingly does most of the heavy lifting here as the gung-ho enforcer and there’s just an hint of social comment in the form of those scouring the internet to piece together jigsaw puzzles from cameras and fragments of information, but whom society might not have expected to possess such formidably cerebral skills. The denouement does rather run to type, but there’s an abundance of chemistry between the two men that stays the right side of familial sentiment whilst Robinson tries to make sense of it all without an enormous amount of meat on the bones of her role. It’s an enjoyable action adventure that won’t trouble any awards juries, ever, but effortlessly passes a couple of hours and does make you consider just how much of our lives these days is being monitored, recorded and manipulated without us being even vaguely aware.

"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 awful, dysfunctional humour, that essentially mocks the main characters autism, continues in unsophisticated, cringe worthy style. In summary, a mediocre, at times stupid, sequel, to a vastly superior, original film. I'm almost inclined to say don't watch this, if you enjoyed the first film. It'll probably just piss you off, as it did me.

Batman and Marv monologue their way through this shit. There is chemistry. I feel strange about this one. Like that time I whooped in Red's. Kids stare up in awe at their saviour. FBI agent's fight scene destroys her character unnecessarily. Why was it all so long? Another intermission musical number. Make short, fun movies please. 88 would have been great. I sure hope Affleck calls that hot teen.

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.
