The plot: Forensic accountant Christian Wolff teams up with his estranged but highly lethal brother to track down mysterious assassins.
The accountant 2 sequel was alright.
Pros: The chemistry of Ben Affleck & Jon Bernthal was undeniably good. I like it is still handled being openly autistic action hero in Christian Wolff. Brax does deliver the best laughs throughout the whole film. I like how they used many different people with difficulties working in the office to help, how well it’s paced, this sequel was & the ending.
Cons: J. K. Simmons character was killed off too early. There are not enough action scenes. At times I kept losing investment in the storyline & it can get cluttered at a point.
