The Accountant 2 in AMC Dolby

The Accountant 2 in AMC Dolby

The “Buddy Comedy” chemistry between Ben Affleck and Jon Bernthal continues with this 2nd installment of The Accountant.

 Christian Wolff (Ben Affleck) has a talent for solving complex problems. When an old acquaintance is murdered, leaving behind a cryptic message to “find the accountant,” Wolff is compelled to solve the case. Realizing more extreme measures are necessary, Wolff recruits his estranged and highly lethal brother, Brax (Jon Bernthal), to help. 

Christian and Brax join forces with the U.S. Treasury Deputy Director Marybeth Medina (Cynthia Addai-Robinson), together they uncover a deadly conspiracy and become targets of a ruthless network of killers who will stop at nothing to keep their secrets buried. The story unfolds from there… 

The Accountant 2 has a great plot, tons of action and some suspense. At times though, the movie runs off the train tracks, but always rights its self to bring you back in. The story is intricate and that is what will hold your attention. 

Ben Affleck and Jon Bernthal are funny together and play off of each other very nicely. This 2nd installment is better than the 2016 installment.

The Accountant 2 is worth a look.

This is a 4 Star Movie!!

The Amateur

The Amateur

Charlie Heller (Rami Malek) is a brilliant, but deeply introverted decoder for the CIA. He works out of a Basement Office at headquarters in Langley. Charlie’s world is turned upside down when his wife is killed in a London Terrorist Attack. When his supervisors refuse to take action, Charlie decides to take matters into his own hands and go after his wife’s killers himself, embarking on a dangerous trek across the globe to track down those responsible, his intelligence serving as the ultimate weapon for eluding his pursuers and achieving his revenge. The story unfolds from there… 

Rami Malek portrayal of a “Nerdy CIA Operative” is very compelling. He comes across very well. 

The movie has tons of intrigue, suspense and lots of twists and turns. There is good action without a lot of blood. There are a few dead spots, but overall once it gets going, “The Amateur” provides edge of your seat entertainment.

“The Amateur” is a Good Spy Thriller that falls a bit short of greatness. It’s definitely worth a look.

This is a 3 ½ Star Movie!!
