As a fan of the original The Accountant, I was hoping for a continuation that built on its unique blend of precision, emotional complexity, and moral ambiguity. Instead, this sequel delivers a generic action thriller that trades subtlety for formula.
The story feels stripped of the psychological depth and tension that gave the first film its edge. Characters make choices that don't feel fully earned, and much of the narrative feels driven by convenience rather than character logic. There's an attempt at a surprising twist, but it lacks setup and emotional resonance.
Despite carrying an R rating, the film plays things surprisingly safe. The action is polished but sanitized, the tone oddly restrained, and any intensity feels carefully measured to avoid alienating the audience. It's a film that looks slick but pulls its punches-especially disappointing for a franchise that once embraced quiet menace and emotional control.
Affleck and Bernthal still share solid chemistry, and a few action beats land, but these are bright spots in an otherwise underwhelming continuation that doesn't deepen the world or the characters meaningfully.
My rating: 5/10 - competent, but cautious and forgettable. The original didn't need a sequel, and this one never proves otherwise.

I have no problem with the story and the acting in general. It's quite enjoyable to me.
My main gripe is with the casting of Kingsley Ben-Adir as the Main Villain. He looks like he was just in for the money, but didn't want to give the acting effort whatsoever. His thugs showed much more intimidating act than him. This makes the whole show's gravitas look lame.
The idea that the refugee camp looks like dump, while their council leaders camouflage as world leaders, just don't make sense. While camouflaging, Skrulls can have jobs and earn decent living. The thugs among them can even form a mobster organization to cash in serious dough. So they could earn enough money to have a decent camp for their refugees. Not like the one shown in the series.

I'm not into the serial killer hype. I even avoid horror and thriller genres these days. But the fun and excitement tone of the show successfully lure me to watch till the 8th episode.
My main gripe about the show is the ABUSIVE AMOUNT of MISLEADING & IMAGINATIVE SCENES (including one in the finale episode) that try to trick audiences to think or feel something about the respective Plots, before the editors abruptly switch them back to IRL scenes. The cheap tactic becomes more and more ANNOYING to me as the show progresses. Hope they won't use it again in future season, should they gain enough traction in viewership to validate continuation.
