This Friday sees the release of the long anticipated The Accountant 2 which reteams Ben Affleck and Jon Bernthal for one hell of a buddy actioner that is loaded with taut thrills, laugh out loud humor, strong sentiment and above all, bullet blasting bravado. I was able to see the film last week during the special Tax Day screening and I can attest that this one is worth your time and is bigger and badder than the original. Check out my full 4.5 out of 5-star review below!
Amazon MGM has unveiled a final (yes, we all thought the last one was the final) trailer and even though they didn’t quote me in the promo (after all, I said nothing but good things) I still forgive them and this one highlights the film’s authentic and stripped-down action beats throughout. Check out the latest teaser below and I promise you one hell of a ride.
The Account 2 is in a league like Aliens. It is a sequel that is bigger, badder and more satisfying than the beloved original. Ben Affleck and Jon Bernthal are buddy action movie gold delivering fantastic performances and chemistry like no other. The supporting cast including returning cast members J.K. Simmons and Cynthia Addai-Robinson also shine when given the chance and newcomer Danielle Pineda gives a haunting and low-key performance as a mysterious assassin who is more than she seems. The action does take a back seat once again like the first film but the character driven plot, although a little convoluted and ambiguous, drives the film to its slam bang climax of glorious tactical action and mayhem. This sequel proves that Affleck and Bernthal have a solid gold hit franchise on their hands and it would be criminal not to see them together again on the big screen in more installments.
Nitpicks aside, The Accountant 2 is hands down a top contender for best action film of the year. Ben Affleck & Jon Bernthal are an adrenaline laced dream team of tactically proficient bad assery in a sequel that surpasses the original with heart, humor, taut suspense and bullet shredding bravado!– John Jerva Action-Flix.com
