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.

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.

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 really enjoyed the first 'The Accountant' so had high expectations for the follow up.
Sadly, I was very dissappointed.
The first film had some logic, it made sense, it had a story. So made the all action nonsense plausible and therefore excusable as 'artistic license.
The Accountant 2 is all action nonsense.
It makes very little sense. Very weak on story and logic i.e. Not believable for the audience to invest in it.
E.g. Why would Ray King in retirement, spend all his money 'investigating' alone and particularly for one child ?
Why would Chris (Affleck) reveal his computer help source (Justine) and her location so glibly.
It was absurd how the woman assassin was supposed to be the woman in the picture, It was also absurd how she was more like a terminator than a person.
And there are many more such issues, that prevent the story from flowing logically and therefore immersing the audience in a journey.
Instead you are repeatedly 'jolted' out, asking what? Why? When? Sort of questions, which don't have answers.
Ben Affleck is looking a bit aged and gaunt, but he and the guy who plays Braxton , played their parts compentently, but were let down by the weak script.
It does have some laughs, It's not terrible, just very mediocre, certainly nowhere near as good as the first film.
Would I watch this again ? No, it's too glib and lacks cohesion.
Yet, I have watched the first film several times and I will watch it again.
Very dissappointed and I felt this was a missed opportunity.
Not worth a full price cinema ticket.

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).

Le saviez-vous
- AnecdotesIn February 2020, Ben Affleck revealed there were talks about a follow-up to Le comptable (2016), but they had yet to nail down a script. At the same time, he also mentioned there were talks of developing a TV series based on the film.
- GaffesWhen the hackers gain access to the selfie lady's computer, they have no reason to distract her. With anything close to the level of access they have at that point they would just copy the files out. Taking over her desktop is completely pointless.
