The Underrated 2016 Action Movie Getting A Second Life On Netflix

«The Accountant» follows Christian Wolff, an accountant with autism who helps criminals launder money. The film dives deep into Wolff’s psyche, showing how his work causes complications in the present day. The picture also highlights the character’s complicated upbringing. What’s most interesting thing about the release is the chaotic and furious action sequences. Action junkies should watch «The Accountant» based purely on the unique martial arts style shown in the film. 

Beyond exciting set pieces, it boasts an all-star cast filled with heavy hitters. In addition to Affleck, the film features Anna Kendrick as a woman who crosses paths with Wolff and J.K. Simmons as a government executive. «The Punisher» actor Jon Bernthal stars as Wolff’s brother, while Jeffrey Tambor has a memorable appearance as a man from Wolff’s troubling past. 

Thanks to fan reception and strong box office receipts, a sequel was announced in 2017. In 2020, Affleck suggested to Collider that «The Account» could possibly continue as a television series, and the project remained in limbo until March of this year, when it was announced that Amazon MGM Studios would produce the sequel, nabbing the rights from Warner Bros. Pictures. The long-awaited «Accountant» sequel will bring back Affleck, Simmons, Jon Bernthal, and director Gavin O’Connor for a new adventure.
