I found the first Accountant (2016! Yelp) to be a great film. It was tight, multilayered, as much of a puzzle as the themes were in the movie itself and was actually a pretty decent bit of outreach for autism.
The sequel was not great. They laboured the autism and even went as far as making brain damage a Marvel-esque super power origin story. Affleck did his best with a script that made a bit of a clown show out of the main protagonist and his brother, and the plot appeared to be window dressing for a couple of okayish set pieces.
I'm more upset that this film tarnishes the memory I have of the first rather than because it's a bad film itself. Either way though this is one to skip.
