As a Sequel, 'The Accountant 2' Punches Up the Numbers
Briefly

In 'The Accountant 2', Ben Affleck returns as a meticulous CPA with autism, delving into a follow-up that explores themes of brotherly conflict, action, and identity. Paired with Jon Bernthal, portraying his brother Braxton, the film occasionally staggers with its pacing but finds strength in their contrasting personalities. The plot weaves humor and urgency into an otherwise messy storyline, aiming to balance seriousness with levity. It also introduces a relevant subplot regarding the struggles of a migrant family, adding layers to its thriller roots.
"While The Accountant 2 is an untidy thriller, it finds a solid dynamic between Ben Affleck’s character and Jon Bernthal's, making them an engaging action duo."
"The film’s aimless scenes can detract from the story progression, but it finds its footing once Braxton joins the plot, showcasing the contrasting brothers well."
