New Release Review - "The Accountant 2"

by Eric Hillis, TheMovieWaffler.com
published 2025-04-29
2016's The Accountant performed modestly at the box office yet somehow became the most rented title on US VOD platforms of 2017. Despite such unlikely returns, it has taken almost a decade for a sequel to surface, with original director Gavin O'Connor and writer Bill Dubuque back on board.

Relationships within families vary in scope and importance. But the influence that parents have on their children provide some of the most crucial ones.
