(ESP-ENG) The Accountant 2 | One more sequel in Hollywood - Movie Review!
Hello friends, good vibes to all.
As usual Hollywood appeals a lot to sequels, prequels and spin-offs for lack of originality to create new stories. There are films that are not at all necessary but there are others that could be saved from that judgment. I think The Accountant 2 is an example of those films that are fine to exist because the first part was very good and because there was a story that could continue to be told. The combination between Affleck and Bernthal is very good, as characters they obviously complement each other very well and as action actors as well, they both did a good job here.
We have Christian Wolff (Affleck) who is a person who is on the spectrum, he's someone special. He's an accountant but secretly he's a killing machine. After the events of the first part Wolff learns of the death of an acquaintance who expressly asked to look for him to solve a missing persons case. When this accountant realizes that this job will not be so simple he decides to call his brother Braxton (Bernthal), who is even more lethal than Christian, to help him on the road to find the missing family. The reality is that the criminals behind this seem to be members of a cartel along with organizations that deal with white slavery (women).
The comparison is odious but it has to be made and if we see the two films personally I'm left with the first one. This does not mean that this sequel is bad, it is not, but for me this second installment was another action movie, and the novelty factor that in this case was the condition of Wolff goes to the background and the plot focuses on the development of the relationship between the brothers and is that they had many years apart so there are things to solve. Speaking expressly of that the way the two interact is very cool and even natural, there is an implicit comedy that makes you laugh with the dialogues and the treatment between them.
The second part of the plot is undoubtedly the action. I have to say that I expected a little more, not that it is nonexistent but it was very generic, I missed the hand to hand fight that happened in the first one. The only thing that looks interesting is the typical exchange of gunfire in a desert area between these two and a group of men. And it's like I said, the movie might get a little slower as a result of the deepening relationship between the brothers. The plot is basic and linear, it is true that there are a couple of interesting plot twists being one of them really unexpected while the second one was more expected. The plot I'm talking about opens up the film and helps us to understand many things about Wolff and the way he operates.
Anyway, it's a good sequel but personally I came with higher expectations, I give it a 7.5/10. I leave the trailer below. It's over two hours long, that's another not so nice point, I think it's unnecessarily long. Anyway if you liked the first one, make the closure and watch this second one.
¡Un abrazo a todos, nos vemos en la próxima!
Well my people, that's all for today, I hope you liked it.
¡Hugs to all of you, see you next time!
