AXELLERATEDREVIEWS

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.

Accountant is Gavin O’Connor’s latest action flick starring a very convincing Ben Affleck, who plays a genius mathematician dealing with autism. The trailers managed to convince me to give this movie a go, but I was still not sure what to expect going into the theatres, so I am very happy to say that I was pleasantly surprised by this premise! It isn’t the grand action spectacle of the year that some hoped to obtain, but I never expected to get that from this movie.

Villeneuve returns to direct this incredible & beautiful-looking piece of art, which analyses a world at war without rules of engagement.
