This low-budget indie thriller by the North East writer/director recounts a contained dramatic crime tale, with intriguing twists & turns. 

This new independent horror film is more than it lets on. Uniting a heartbreaking family drama with frightening supernatural elements. 

This is Jack Quaid’s year! After a great villainous performance in Companion, he reappears as a lovable everyman with CIPA, out to save the girl he loves. 

A US vs. Russia scenario, in which each party must overlook an undisclosed ravine. Good chemistry, solid mystery & better than it had any right to be for a Valentine’s streamer dump! 

While not as good as the first one, The Accountant 2 is still a solid sequel. Would I have wished for a few more puzzles to figure out? Sure, but the change in tone also made it unique, without feeling like a rehash of the 2016 one. The brotherly dynamic in the story was the best part, with Affleck and Bernthal having great chemistry. The humour was at times misplaced, but the jokes always landed. The action, while conventional, gave the whole plot a good sense of urgency.
