Honestly, I was surprised by all the buzz around The Accountant 2 too. At first, I thought it was just another basic action flick, but after watching it, I get why people are excited. The cool thing is it’s not just fighting and explosions—Ben Affleck’s character, Christian Wolff, is super weird but super smart, and he has autism, which isn’t something you see in action movies much. He’s not just the typical tough guy, and the way he works with his brother (Jon Bernthal) makes the story feel more real and different from a bunch of random shootouts.

Plus, this time, Christian’s digging into the murder of someone who left him this creepy message—“Find the accountant.” I won’t spoil it, but the conspiracy twist is way bigger and darker than in the first movie. It kinda feels like they finally let the characters get messy instead of playing it safe, y’know?

So yeah, I think people like The Accountant 2 because it’s not just action, but has this weird family vibe and smart mystery that other action movies skip. I wasn’t expecting to care about the characters this much, but I totally did. If you’re into action and a story that actually tries something different, it’s worth streaming on Prime Video.
