I had actually put the first “Accountant” film out of my mind until this one came along, so I wasn’t anticipating anything special. However, it turns out to be quite enjoyable as the precise financial expert with hidden, serious issues (Ben Affleck) is forced to collaborate with his separated brother "Braxton" (Jon Bernthal) and a reluctant government employee “Medina” (Cynthia Addai-Robinson) to figure out why her superior (J.K. Simmons) was shot after a secretive meeting in a questionable nightclub. It appears the brothers share more similarities than initially thought, and when their methods combine one person's command of advanced technology with the other’s instinct to fight first and deal with the consequences later, she experiences considerable inner turmoil. The situation seems to center on ruthless human trafficking criminals who will do anything to safeguard their profitable operation and prevent any investigation, so skilled killers are quickly pursuing our determined group. It isn't particularly inventive; it feels like a combination of “John Wick” and the “A-Team,” which lets Affleck use an unusual accent while Bernthal roams around in his underwear displaying a humorous threat that his tattoos don’t really enhance. The latter performer carries most of the weight here as the enthusiastic enforcer, and there's just a touch of commentary about those using online resources to assemble information from cameras and data bits, but who might not seem like they possess such impressive intellectual abilities. The ending is predictable, though the two men have great rapport that avoids being overly sentimental while Robinson attempts to understand what’s happening despite her character having limited substance. It's a pleasant action-adventure film that won’t be considered for awards, but it easily occupies a couple of hours and does prompt reflection on how much of our lives is currently being watched, documented, and controlled without us even realizing it.
