Part of the interest in the original Accountant film was the plot line around his abilities with numbers and forensic accounting which enables him to see through complex financial arrangements and other such things. It was what made the film original and intriguing, however the sequel only lightly touches on this and seems to forget that the reason for Affleck's wooden acting was his position on the spectrum rather than his, well, ... wooden acting. They forgot to reinforce that aspect of his character with the number crunching and the script was a watered-down version which was lazy and defaulted to a bad guy Vs worse guy shootout with the brother in tow.

There are some redeeming aspects but some virtue signalling also and the overaching story about human trafficking has been done a lot and probably deserves more heart and gravitas than this surface-level shoot-em-up flick could give it. In that respect, it was entirely predictable and without the aforementioned interest that stemmed from his cognitive abilities in the first film.

This movie is so bad that it is irritating. In fact it's so adhered to every formulaic one-liner that has ever been written by that it'll have your eyes rolled permanently into the back of your head if you can manage to make it to the end, and believe me you shouldn't bother.

It is probably the worst film I've seen this year and that's saying something because the stuff coming out of Hollywood these days is dire.

Whoever thought the premise for this film, a game of tag, was going to be funny without some very witty writing really should retire from film production or be fired.

Tried twice to watch it and gave up twice, it's abysmally bad. Save yourself the time and frustration. I'd rather watch paint dry.

This show is so slow and drawn out that you already know after the first three episodes that you're not going to get any payoff from this drip fed drear-fest until the end of the last season. That's 26 episodes of drawn out bait and tease if you can stomach it.

These kind of shows seem to gather a certain audience who rave about the mystery and seem to think that every episode has to follow the format of dropping breadcrumbs and ending with a cliffhanger. The only problem with this is that they've really undervalued what a cliffhanger should be, and instead of someone literally hanging from a cliff we get aspects as exciting as realising that someone has been stealing laundry from the washing line .... but why ..... but why

If you care enough to ask but why, then maybe this show is for you but, after watching 5 episodes, I've fallen asleep twice and had to rewind in case I missed something ... I didn't.

The other main issue with these drawn out so-called mysteries is they lack entertainment value and, in this case, the story and pacing amount to interminable boredom. There are elements of laziness and soap-opera standard writing too in that, instead of getting on with the overarching story, the writers divert into domestic strife and family problems that are just padding we've all seen a thousand times before.

There are two extremes of ratings on IMDB these days: the 10/10's versus the 1/10's. In reality, this show is no more than a 5.
