  They should have filmed two sequels, The Accountant: Accounts Payable and The Accountant: Accounts Receivable, back-to-back to complete the trilogy.

  Are they good? They appear bland

    The movies? The first was surprisingly good, though I walked in with zero expectations.

    Not a first John Wick, but a decent action flick.

      Thanks! I’ll check it out. Tangent on that comment, gosh John wick 1 was awesome but boy was it so bland by 4. I really really liked the John Wick inspired Nobody.

    It’s a mixed bag tbh. I think the first one is overlong and less clever than it thinks it is. The action is competent, but not substantively better than a good direct to video shoot em up, and there’s just so much dead space between these sequences it’s almost not worth it.

    That being said, i’d rank it above Jason Statham’s A Working Man, but below Jason Statham’s The Beekeeper. Idk if that helps you at all, but I think it’s indicative of the mode this movie is trying to operate in.

      Thanks for your opinion! I will get the first one and checked it out. Did you watch the second yet?

      Beekeeper cracked me up so fricken much. To bee or not to bee is hilarious.

    My gf wanted us to watch the first one thanks to tiktok marketing. We quit cause it was unbearably boring and bland. It’s generic tic-tac action movie but the main characters superpower is autism.

  The first was one of the most hilariously bad and poor taste depictions of autism since Rain Man. There’s no way the second is any better.

    Disagree. I felt seen. But I’m not a superhero accountant, so I could be wrong

      I’m glad you did! Savantism tends to be looked down on by the rest of ASD folx who aren’t savants, which is unfortunately a majority. It’s also important to note you don’t have to beat the shit out of your shins, subject yourself to loud noises and flashing lights, and do other unpleasant, torture-adjacent things just to mask. You can find communities out there that will accept you for you with or without a mask.

  I thought it was when they unlocked his psychic powers and implied all autistic people could use telepathy

    I’m not sure if this is a joke or not from the first one. It had the weirdest mix of “Is autism a superpower? Or is child abuse?”

  75% is pretty bad

    Barely good enough to even consider
