I really like The Accountant. It dared to change the action movie lead role with an autistic character, providing a very interesting role. How would the combination of strengths and weaknesses that The Accountant's condition play out in the dangerous world of international criminals and hitmen?

It was this combination of obsessive/compulsive need for order and completion, combined with an inability to empathise or understand social interactions, that made Affleck's character, Christian Wolff, so interesting.

In the sequel, the writing is not as focused on Affleck in the same way. Instead the focus is on the relationship between him and his brother (Bernthal). While well acted, this simply does not have the same appeal. The movie shines when Wolff's neurodivergence is front and centre, but otherwise it feels like any other generic action-thriller (albeit a well-done one).

The Accountant, like pizza, is decent even when mediocre. Unfortunately, like most sequels, this doesn't measure up to the original. The story and characters are more bland and vague where they shouldn't be, and more detailed and defined where it doesn't really help. Frankly, it turned out more like a generic TV action movie. More of the same, but not as good. Bad guys get killed, but the reasons are far more generic and vague. The story and plausibility took a big hit. Not all the action sequences works as well as the last one. They tried to me more jokey here, but only about half land. But, given the sad state of movies these days, I don't mind supporting a "noble" effort.

The Accountant 2 doubles down on the action and humor over the first film. It does however try to juggle too many subplots that are poorly connected, leading to a less coherent film and a lack of a singular, hateable villain.

On the plus side, making Jon Bernthal a co-lead this time was incredibly smart. He and Affleck have great chemistry and Bernthal's Braxton is both a lethal threat and downright hilarious. This is easily his best role since The Punisher.

Like the first film, action isn't the primary focus, with a lot of time spent on enjoyable character moments. But when the action does arrive, it really delivers. Depending on what the new Mission: Impossible has in store for us, the Juarez shootout in this film may go down as the best action sequence of the year.

Again, I wish more of the character development had been focused on the villains, so we'd have a central antagonist who seems like a real threat. Instead we get several boring micro-villains.

I also wish the writing and editing were working in better harmony to bring us a more coherent story.

But all that said, Affleck and Bernthal have charm to spare, the final act is awesome, and this is a decent follow up to the admittedly better first film. 7/10.

The Accountant 2 opens with tired beats and immediately falls into formula. The writing is weak, loaded with bad cop movie tropes, flat exposition, and attempts at humor that land with a thud. Cynthia Addai-Robinson's performance is especially wooden-zero chemistry, no urgency, and completely lifeless delivery. The score sounds like stock suspense cues pulled from a bargain bin, draining scenes of any weight. Ben Affleck's portrayal of Christian feels like a caricature of a character, not a person. Jon Bernthal is the lone bright spot, managing to bring grit and humanity despite the clunky lines. Slick on the surface, hollow underneath. 4/10.

This was the one film I wanted to see the most at SXSW and I was lucky enough to see the world premier and left more than pleased. Jon Bernthal really explodes on screen and you can feel the joy he gets from pushing his brothers buttons in the most entertaining way possible. These two have real, believable chemistry and brought something both familiar and unexpected while delivering a story that isn't the same ole buddy trope the way other films seem to struggle. Jon's comic relief blends perfectly with Ben's robotic, emotionlessness. It feels like anything can and will happen at any moment...and it does! I hope we see these two characters together again sooner than later!

It's been years since I watched "THE ACCOUNTANT" and I didn't watch it before going to see this one. I liked this movie and enjoyed it, but I felt like it was missing something. What that is, I don't know, I can't put my finger on it. Maybe I missed something. And whatever that something might have been, I think the movie could have been better.

I liked the dance scene, not so much the troupe that followed. The movie had a hero's heart and some great action. A solid matinee movie.

When the day comes when it goes to streaming, I'll be sure to watch the both movies back to back. Hopefully, I'll discover that missing ingredient.

Tonally extremely different to the original movie as they aim to increase the comedic moments. Very weak plot which seemed to rely on paper thin character links.

Terrible oversights with character continuity for the actual accountant. He sounded and looked different - his wardrobe was actually that of Forrest Gump and they even mentioned that as a reference at one point. He doesn't seem to be working in the same way now, and just messing about with dating algorithms for laughs now?! Even if you buy into him making 9 years of effort to integrate, it just seemed too different and ultimately fans of the first movie are coming back for more of the same so development must be within some bounds, otherwise he is just a different character.

I was really upset that they turned his "Solomon Grundy" stim/soothe into a joke and then had him use it in absolutely the wrong moment - more like a punch/tag line. His father's routine over overstimulation that dominated the original to help him cope with the world was completely absent - nothing really seemed to trigger him this time at all.

Would go so far as to say that Jon Bernthal was absolutely wasted and his character was made to look like an idiot rather than a dangerous and whimsical guy.

Agent Medina was a bit of an afterthought who got in the way. Little character development and it seemed like she was just there to remind us all how "off book" the accountant and his brother are.

Honestly this was a terrible follow up to the first movie and we came home and immediately put on the original to try and wash away the mess that was this sequel. It was such an opportunity to really do something cool with the concept, and it was absolutely wasted.

I saw an early screening of The Accountant 2. I went in with tempered expectations because a sequel after 9 years feels like a cash grab. To my surprise, I thoroughly enjoyed this movie for the entire runtime.

The selective action moments are just as hard-hitting. The characters are just as unique and enjoyable. The character dynamics may even surpass the original. And there are just as many story threads that reach satisfying conclusions. You can tell they put effort and care into this sequel.

The comedy, though?!?! There were some funny moments in the first one. But in the sequel, I laughed out loud so many times, to the point I would list "comedy" as a subgenre. And it's not "insert joke here"-type humor. It's organic to the story and characters.

I would say I still like the original a tiny bit better, especially with the originality and overall story. But with the comedy in the sequel, I scored them both the same. I was extremely satisfied leaving the cinema.

... otherwise the autistic savant just might maim, shoot, or cyberhack you into painful oblivion. The "Accountant 2" (A2) is a fairly predictable, average action sequel. Affleck's and Bernthal's portrayals as brothers provide some expanded interaction (and sometimes humorous banter) of their sibling relationship. The whole "autism is a gift" angle of A2 really BREAKS believability-as Affleck's former rural academy of autistic savants are more like Professor Xiaver's mutant X-men, than a more realistic school for young gifted people on the spectrum. It helps that Affleck's Autism Academy has more surveillance, encrypted communications, and cyber spy/warfare capabilities than any current superpower-to jump over gaping plot holes and pesky contrivances to keep the "BANG BANG" going. If you liked the original "Accountant" arrange your breakfast with obsessive compulsion, or like to file tax returns, there is exactly a 50/50 probability you might like A2. Viewed on Prime streaming.

7/10. The Accountant 2 serves as a worthy sequel. Leaning more into brotherly banter, tighter action, and plays into a lighter and humorous tone.

The plot and character arcs, much like the first, leave a lot to be desired. The story isn't as convoluted as the first but still gets murky. The villains are one dimensional, generic, and quite forgettable. Sadly, Anna Kendrick doesn't return.

The film heavily relies on bringing Jon Bernthal into a bigger role and it works. His strained relationship and funny lines with Affleck are the heart of the movie. Crazy stuff always happens when Bernthal and Affleck show up. Their actions scenes are fun to watch. They are brothers who are trying to get along and get past their messed up childhood trauma. This results in the humor being less dry; for better or worse.

Ben Affleck again does a splendid job in his role as a Aspergers man with his different tics and mannerisms. He is smart, nerdy, and a killing machine. Yes, the Hollywood portrayal of Asperger's is kind of cliché for the sake of the plot. Not all of us are genius computer hackers. Or killers for that matter. But the film did a respectable job with depicting the thinking, psyche, and social struggles on a personal level.

I think Ben got the weirdness down well by being around Matt Damon for too long. Haha, just kidding Matt, you're great. In the one trillion chance you read this, please don't be mad.

Thank you, Regal Cinemas, for showing this early on Tax Day. No, I didn't see this at a film festival but that would have been awesome. (Hint, hint). Ben Affleck awkwardly line dancing was very hilarious. Kudos to suggesting the band play a Metallica song.

I'm a bit angry that the film got a ton of positive reviews which is a bit suspect to me. There was nothing outstanding here in the writing. Ben is always good to watch and probably carried it at times along with a few quirks here and there. But nothing special or memorable in the film itself. I'm concerned that they're fudging the reviews somehow. The first one was surprisingly good had some witty dialogue and surprising twists in the story. But this one just felt like the whole thing was filler content. There was just a bit of special sauce that was missing. Perhaps the subject matter could't be played on further and they had nothing else.

I had a nice peaceful Sunday morning screening with my usual entry. They devoted a huge theater to it, but barely ten people at 10AM. One guy actually bought my seat. I had to move down one row. But it was a recliner house, so all good.

I loved the start and the ending. Both are superbly done. It starts with Ray King (JK Simmons), a retired Treasury head now in L. A. freelancing only on cases that he personally believes in. He meets Anais (Daniella Pineda) in a grungy bar. She's a human traffiking victim. Basically he's asking for trouble and finds it. His demise is the cue for his mentee Marybeth Medina (Cynthia Addai-Robinson) to get involved back in Vienna, Virginia. She in turn brings in Christian, an autistic accountant with a violent edge. For an action movie, there's a ton of comedy. It introduces/reintroduces us to Christian Wolff (Ben Affleck) in Boise, Idaho, in an Air Stream park preparing for a speed dating event. AI tells him everything throughout the film, so this was a cute way of warming up the audience for this conceit. "No black suits. You look like a mortician." The voice, I now am discovering, was his ex. She now runs a Neuroscience Academy for autistic kids to crack and hack just about anything on PCs. Wolff in turn brings in his hitman brother Braxton (Jon Bernthal), currently on assignment in Berlin. He makes it to L. A. in 24 hours despite their long estrangement. They team up to kill and maim a bunch of people en route to a breathtaking finale on the outskirts of Juarez. I didn't hate or love the film, but I loved specific scenes. The plot is confusing as all hell. It's a very difficult film to follow, no matter how close you sit or how attentive you are. Screenwriting is quite poor, despite the cute snarky dialogue. The weak link is Addai-Robinson as Medina, a dull actress even when she's fighting. Affleck creates an interesting character. I loved Bernthal. Who doesn't? He's a crowd pleaser. Pineda is sexy eye candy and enlivens the film. Everyone will leave relatively happy and satisfied after the ending and forget all about the confusing plot.

I was ready to hate The Accountant 2. The trailers made it look like just another over-the-top sequel that no one asked for-same character, louder explosions, and a plot that felt like it was pulled out of a hat.

But honestly? It surprised me.

Ben Affleck is back as Christian Wolff, and he's somehow even better this time around. The movie leans into what made the first one work-calculated action, smart pacing, and a character who's not your typical action hero. There's actually some depth here, and a bit more heart than I expected.

The story moves fast, the action scenes are tight, and there's just enough emotional weight to keep it from feeling hollow. Is it perfect? Nah. Some side characters could've used more love, and a couple twists felt a little too neat. But overall, it's a solid sequel that doesn't just cash in-it builds on what came before.

Don't let the previews fool you. The Accountant 2 is definitely worth a watch.

Decent criminal investigation film with great acting from the lead cast. However, there were several scenes that were notably elongated, and unnecessary, that in fact could be removed and improve the pacing. I reckon there's probably a cut of this film that's 100 minutes and better for it. The action was well shot and the main plot made sense (mostly) so you can see where the story is going and enjoy the ride. I have a feeling that the film wanted to have greater depth than was necessary so the character building seemed forced and unimportant for the audience and purpose. To summarise, I would recommend the film but prepare yourself that it may be slower story telling than what you'd expect.

Now understand. I absolutely love the original Accountant. This second one has horrible writers!!! The story drags alot in the film. The combat and most of the fight scenes are absolutely horrible. The comedy is ok. But, damn... did none of the original writers come back to make this film. I am so disappointed. It was like a lot of amateurs were brought in to make this film. I was so anticipating the release of this movie only to be massively let down. I know Hollywood is gone to garbage, but come on people. Don't low ball a sequel to an awesome film. I do not recommend this film at all. Blah.

Finally a sequel that is as good, or better, than the 1st. Hope they make a 3rd. They left a possible story line open that I could see being similar to the last John Wick. That's just me and my imagination. It could be a complete action movie from start to finish.

This was one of the best movies we've seen this year. Great character building off of the first movie. Has quite a few heart felt moments, some unexpected comedy, and a lot of action. The chemistry between the brothers seems genuine, not forced or acted.

Glad they were able to get the same director and cast.

A must see for 2025. Would see again in the theater.

This was cute buddy shooting movie. This was not a sequel of the original Accountant movie. All of the characters acted completely different than they did in the original movie. Did someone tell Ben he didn't "act" enough in the first movie? I thought his portrayal of a neural divergent person was refreshing in the 1st movie. I don't know what "voice" or speech pattern he was trying to achieve with the sequel but it was off putting and didn't feel genuine. I loved that in the first movie the "computerized voice" was his childhood friend. Now it's a team of Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters (X-men/X-mansion)-like group of kids? I think this movie would have done better as a completely separate standalone movie. Just call it something else and add some of the backstory we got in the original. There was no "Accounting" done at all. And there was barely any action in this sequel at all. I don't know. It just didn't really work for me.

The Accountant 2 had the potential to build on the strong foundation laid by its predecessor - a serious, well-crafted action thriller with genuine emotional stakes. Instead, it sadly veers into self-parody. What was once a grounded character study wrapped in a taut narrative is now reduced to a series of exaggerated callbacks and hollow action beats.

Rather than deepening the complexity of its central character, the sequel leans into caricature, treating its own mythology with a wink rather than with the conviction that made the original resonate. It's disappointing to see a film that once took itself - and its audience - seriously lose its focus in favor of easy spectacle. I was hopeful for a thoughtful continuation; what we got instead feels like a reflection of its former self, more imitation than evolution.
