If you love The Accountant, don’t watch this sequel as the aftertaste is so bad, it may damage the first movie. The plot is absolutely forced and unrealistic if not absurd. Asperger’s symptoms tend to worsen overtime, but Ben’s character magically improves. It’s so painful to watch, especially if you have firsthand real life experience with Asperger’s. If the original move is a masterpiece, this one is exactly opposite. I thought many, if not all, of Ben’s movies had a masterfully written stories, but this one is just awful. A white American male is a leader of a Mexican cartel? Right, a white American male must be an oppressor - somehow, anyhow. The genius of John Bernthal carries the whole movie on its shoulders, without him, it wouldn’t be worth even one star. Overall it feels like The Accountant-3 is probably in the works already and this movie is just a glue between the 1st and the 3rd.
