[The Accountant 2] is sillier, more rambling and reactionary than its predecessor, and all the better for it – perhaps as close as 2020s Hollywood will ever come to producing a modern-day Dirty Harry without imploding with guilt.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 25, 2025

The tonal wobbliness of The Accountant 2 is offset by all it does right.

| Apr 25, 2025

The movie takes the premise of Rain Man (Reunited Brothers, One Charming, One a Troubled Genius) and the bloody border intrigue of Sicario and asks: Why not both?

| Apr 25, 2025

It’s a fairly long picture at 132 minutes...and its impossibly intricate storyline is still just an excuse to pit kill-crazy good guys against hordes of indistinguishable thugs...

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 25, 2025

Even though the plot is complicated, this film still works because of Ben Affleck and Jon Bernthal. The interplay between these two makes it work, even though at times you're kinda lost and things stretch believability.

| Original Score: 7.5/10 | Apr 25, 2025

This unnecessary sequel relies upon your willingness to suspend logical scrutiny and roll with the far-fetched contrivances.

| Apr 25, 2025

The movie works when focused on character interaction and buddy-movie tropes, but the action elements are perfunctory at best and boring at worst. Bill Dubuque’s script is never able to balance out the ledger.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 25, 2025

If you’re looking for gritty realism it isn’t here, and yet the film wrings some real emotion from its themes of betrayal and abuse and crime and punishment. And it has some good jokes.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 25, 2025

With a change in tone to more of an odd couple, buddy cop vibe, The Accountant 2 is nearly as good as the original.

Ben Affleck's performance here is one of the best of his career and counteracts the notion that he's a performer with limited dramatic scope. [Full review in Spanish]

The banter between the three leads provides a connection with the audience that pulls us in, helping us sympathise with characters even as the story wobbles.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Apr 25, 2025

With more humor, emotion, and action, this second installment relies on the great chemistry between Affleck and Bernthal to build a story that entertains from beginning to end. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Apr 25, 2025

Ultimately the mash-up of genres doesn’t quite come together in a satisfactory manner, clashing to the point of whiplash, and attempts to incorporate Acquired Savant Syndrome into the plot feel borderline preposterous.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 25, 2025

Although this could be considered damning with faint praise, given the appalling quality of today’s movies, it is one of the more entertaining films I’ve had to sit through so far this year.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Apr 25, 2025

...if you're one of those audiences who appreciates a sequel whose ambition is to radically break away from the first,...this one is going to give you elements you wouldn't expect...[Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 25, 2025

While “The Accountant” delivered a dependable ‘90s-style throwback action thriller, “The Accountant 2” is much the same, though it embraces a looser, more amusing tone

| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 25, 2025

I miss the vibe that Anna Kendrick brought to the first film (not to mention the characters played by John Lithgow and Jean Smart), but this is still a worthy, brutal, and quite funny sequel.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 25, 2025

While Jon Bernthal has some winning moments as the lead character's loose cannon brother, star Ben Affleck remains an odd fit as a bookish, autistic accountant who doubles as a military grade assassin, and the movie never shifts out of first gear.

| Original Score: C- | Apr 25, 2025

The costars complement each other nicely.

| Apr 25, 2025

While the math is not always mathing in “The Accountant 2”, it does have satisfying results!

| Original Score: B | Apr 25, 2025
