If you love The Accountant, donโt 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. Aspergerโs symptoms tend to worsen overtime, but Benโs character magically improves. Itโs so painful to watch, especially if you have firsthand real life experience with Aspergerโs.
If the original move is a masterpiece, this one is exactly opposite. I thought many, if not all, of Benโs 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 wouldnโt 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.
