I was a big fan of the first Accountant movie. An autistic accountant who’s also a trained assassin? Sounds nuts, but Ben Affleck and Anna Kendrick made it work. Christian Wolff was intense, the action was killer, and the story stuck with you. So I was stoked when I heard about The Accountant 2, hoping it’d bring the same heat. It’s got some of the juice that made the first movie great, like solid fights and brotherly love, but it ultimately holds itself back from reaching those heights again.
