The Accountant 2 is the continuation of the story of forensic accountant Christian Wolff, who teams up with his estranged, highly skilled brother to track down mysterious assassins.
Unlike the first film's mystery focus, this sequel shifted to a quicker, more action-oriented pace with added comedy. While I did enjoy the plot I felt like some of the action sequences were unbelievable. The leads were able to dispatch countless adversaries with near-superhuman accuracy. At times, it reminded me of old Power Rangers episodes, where the heroes effortlessly defeated endless waves of Putties.
The film featured a diverse cast, though most supporting characters lacked strong development. While the director stated all children in the film were on the spectrum, the movie's portrayal of autism, despite aiming for nuance, still drew criticism. It perpetuated stereotypes like savantism or "superpowers," and I agreed with critics that it failed to fully explore the complexities of life with autism.
Overall, The Accountant 2 felt more suited for a straight-to-video release. While entertaining in parts, it didn't quite live up to my expectations.
