Brothers Christian and Braxton reunite to solve a mystery-murder, but the rabbit hole goes deeper than anyone thought.
Exactly what it was meant to be, nothing more, nothing less. Writer Bill Dubuque and director Gavin O’Connor return with the sequel to a film that left most of us excited, entertained, and pumped up. Is the sequel as great? Short answer: no! Tiny longer answer: It doesn’t matter.
The Accountant 2 is a solid action/thriller that will make you forget your problems for over two hours. It’s funny, action-packed, with great performances and a villain with abilities that can match the “boys.” But it is also something else… dramatic! While in a Hollywood manner, the film touches on the unstoppable and horrifying subject of human trafficking and the disgustingly inhumane side of human nature. Something that brings me to my last point…
The dilemma posed by films like this and series like Dexter (2006), Daredevil (2015), and The Punisher (2017). If we knew vigilantes would get the job done, one way or another, would we root for them in real life? Would we want people with such skills to act outside of the law if we knew that they would make this world a better place? I posted an episode one examining that question: https://www.tiktok.com/@kaygazpro/video/7452713700860988705
Regardless of what you think, Ben Affleck and Jon Bernthal make an excellent duet, and Cynthia Addai-Robinson and Daniella Pineda go toe to toe, offering spectacle. Definitely worth your time!
