Director- Gavin O’Connor
Release Date- April 25, 2025
Kind of surprised they openly revealed J.K. Simmons’ death.
The original was a nice surprise for me. I didn’t go into it with high expectations, but The Accountant (2016) was a strong action flick. Affleck’s dedication to playing Christian, hard hitting action sequences, a solid supporting cast, and the story and Christian’s background had some good emotional depth, without being too sappy or cliched.
The dynamic between Affleck and Jon Bernthal was one of the bigger highlights in the 2016 film. Christian managing his autism and having a more reserved and efficient personality, while Braxton is this hard-nosed rebel, who’s more unpredictable, added another layer of drama, because two brothers are conflicted about how they should react and respond to each other. Braxton is more vulnerable in the trailer, possibly taking a more serious approach for reconnecting with his brother.
As long as Affleck and Bernthal are willing to do more films, there’s a possibility The Accountant emerges as the next big action movie franchise. And Bernthal’s character is strong enough to stand on his own for a solo film.
