Eh, I thought it was okay.

I admit that I did like this sequel more than it's predecessor, but that isn't exactly saying much, since I didn't really care for the original film.

And, much like the original film, the unnecessarily long runtime makes The Accountant 2 feel frustratingly sluggish.

Thankfully, director Gavin O'Connor makes up for that sluggishness by giving the sequel a much lighter tone. By focusing on the chemistry between Ben Affleck and Jon Bernthal, The Accountant 2 almost feels like a buddy comedy of sorts. And I can't deny that the two actors do have a great dynamic together!

It's just a shame that the story that they're in isn't all too engaging.
