The Accountant 2 - 會計師2

The Accountant 2 (會計師2) is an 2025 film. The movie stars Ben Affleck and Jon Bernthal. The supporting cast include Cynthia Addai-Robinson, J. K. Simmons, Daniella Pineda, Grant Harvey, and Andrew Howard. This is a sequel to The Accountant (會計師).



Ben and Jon reprise their roles as The Accountant and Braxton, respectively. Cynthia Addai-Robinson and J. K. Simmons as Marybeth and Raymond King, respectively. However, this time around, Raymond King is retired and working as an PI, whereas Marybeth has taken over King’s old position as head of FinCen. King is hot on the trail of something before he is killed off, prompting Marybeth to seek out The Accountant. As The Accountant and Marybeth start their investigation, they butt heads and need extra support. Enter Braxton. The three amigos make headway in the search for King’s killer and keep butting heads. Follow the law or do their own thing? Will the three amigos find King’s killer?



I loved this movie because when Braxton entered the picture with The Accountant, they revisit their estranged family dynamics and work through them as the film goes about its investigation. Which ended up being a “buddy” movie. What made Rush Hour and Shanghai Knights so popular in the past was the buddy movie aspect. In the same vein, Ben and Jon play off each other so well.



I hope they start on a sequel and maybe play off the final installment of the brothers getting revenge or something other, or make 8 more of these buddy films. Let’s keep ‘em coming. Give the masses what they want. My favorite film of 2025 so far.



UPDATE JUNE 19, 2025. The Accountant 2 (會計師2) recently released on Amazon Prime Video. I just re-watched it last night. It was even better the second time around. Wow! Please get a sequel on the road.

Enter Carroll Shelby. Shelby convinces Miles to be his driver for the event. The two spend the first half of the movie trying to build a car that could be enough to run and win the race. The second half the film is focused on the actual race.



This was a really good movie. I was sad that I couldn't have supported this film while it was in the theaters. I got this via digital copy from iTunes when quarantine started.

The movie presents a compelling storyline, paired with excellent acting. You got a killer combo. The movie was almost 2.5 hours long and I didn't even notice. It went by so quick because I was completely into the story.

If you're looking for a great movie from 2019, give this a try.

The Peanut Butter Falcon - 花生醬獵鷹的願望

The Peanut Butter Falcon (花生醬獵鷹的願望) is an 2019 film. The movie stars Shia LaBeouf, Zack Gottsagen, and Dakota Johnson. The supporting cast include John Hawkes, Bruce Dern, Jon Bernthal, and Thomas Haden Church. Peanut Butter Falcon was the highest grossing independent film of 2019.



Shia plays Tyler, a fisherman of sorts who's having a hard time in life after the death of his brother. Zak, played by Zack Gottsagen, has down syndrome and is currently living in a elderly hospice type place. Tyler lights a fire to rival fisherman and is now on the run. Zak successfully escapes his confines and hides on Tyler's boat. They eventually make a bond and go on the run together. Zak is looking for a professional wrestling school in Florida. They are in Georgia. Eleanor, played by Dakota Johnson, was responsible for Zak and is sent looking for him. Eventually, all three meet up and go on the same adventure.



This was one of my favorite films of 2019. I saw a trailer and it looked super interesting. I was not disappointed. The acting was very endearing and the setting they were in was quite interesting. Being a Los Angeles native, seeing that part of the Georgia was quite interesting.

Shia and Zack had such a good bound in the movie that it was quite easy to follow their adventure.

In the description, it was mentioned that this was a modern Huckleberry Finn retelling. Having read Finn 30 plus years ago, I didn't remember the concept, but go figure.



I caught this film via T-Mobile Tuesday Redbox promo.

Baby Driver - 玩命再劫

Baby Driver (玩命再劫) is an 2017 film. The movie stars Ansel Elgort. The supporting cast includes Kevin Spacey, Lily James, Eiza González, Jon Hamm, Jamie Foxx, and Jon Bernthal. This film is directed by Edgar Wright, whom was attached to direct the first Ant-man for many years but parted ways with Marvel.

Ansel Elgort plays Baby who is an extremely good driver. Hence the title of the film, Baby Driver. When Baby is caught by a crime lord, he has to pay him back by driving. Mainly as a getaway driver. Of course a heist goes bad and baby is on the run and trying to get his life back.

I actually was so hyped to see this film that I actually went to the movie theater to watch this. Oh my gawd. I was so disappointed. The movie was highly predictable and the protagonist was so annoying as a main. During the last 30 minutes, thoughts of walking out overcame me, but stuck it out. Lily James, Eiza González, Jon Hamm, and Jamie Foxx played against type but seemed to be over acting the whole time. Trying so hard to be bad @$$ or cooler than they are.

I can not recommend this movie. I haven't been a fan Edgar Wright's films and don't know why I thought this would be good. Maybe it was good Marvel parted ways with him.

The Accountant - 會計師

The Accountant (會計師) is an 2016 film. The film stars Ben Affleck as The Accountant. The supporting cast include Anna Kendrick, J. K. Simmons, Jon Bernthal, Jeffrey Tambor, Cynthia Addai-Robinson, and John Lithgow.

The Accountant is really good at taxes. He owns a shop and helps out all the folks around him. However, there's more to him than meets the eye. He's also a master hitman. When a big corporation decides to go after him, they made a big mistake. Heads will be shot and live will end.

This was a pretty amazing movie. From The Accountant to the story, to his back story, it kept me at the edge of my seat waiting for more. And they didn't keep things a mystery, whenever a reveal came, it came with more mystery, and more reveals. A very satisfying movie. I hope they take this concept and bring it to Netflix or something like it.

A must watch for this genre and must for Ben Affleck fans.

The Wolf of Wall Street - 華爾街之狼

The Wolf of Wall Street (華爾街之狼) is 2013 film. The movie stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Jonah Hill. The extensive supporting cast include Margot Robbie, Matthew McConaughey, Kyle Chandler, Jon Bernthal, and Cristin Milioti. The film is directed by Martin Scorsese.



Leonardo plays Jordan Belfort. Belfort is a rags to riches story. Belfort works on wall street out of college and loses his job. As a last resort, Belfort takes a job selling penny stocks. Belfort works his way up the chain and becomes a millionaire. Along the way, he does drugs and lots of women. The Feds start to track him and take him down. Belfort has to find a way to hide his money from the feds too. His firm also has very successful people that are very loyal to Belfort. Who will win this cat and mouse chase between Belfort the Feds?

This was an entertaining movie. A story where you disliked the main character, but wanted to continue. You most likely continued because of how ridiculous it was. How is it that Belfort can get away with this? That was what drew me to the end. I disliked Belfort and his cohorts. Not a lot of redeeming values in their life. They used the system to take advantage of a lot of people. What they did will never be repaid, even time in prison. I watched it once and that's it. Its available on my Amazon Prime and its been on various cable channels recently, but I haven't bothered to watch it.

Fury - 怒火特攻隊

Fury (怒火特攻隊) is 2014 film. The film stars Brad Pitt. The rest of the cast include Logan Lerman, Shia LaBeouf, Michael Peña, and Jon Bernthal. The movie takes place during the end of World War II, in April 1945.



Brad Pitt and his tank troupe have survived many battle over the last few years. The tank itself is called Fury and is sent on a multiple missions during the film and engages in both tank battles, hand to hand, and gun to gun battles. Without giving away too much of the plot, one of the gunman on the tank is decapitated and is given a replacement. This replacement is 8 weeks in the service with no training and was a clerk prior to be shipped out to Germany. The veteran troupe now has to survive battles with a "green" solider.

This movie was both raw and exciting. The action of war mixed with humans in extreme conditions and their reaction to war. When life and death are at stake, people are willing to look past their belief system and enact survival instincts.

Brad Pitt gives a very controlled performance. As the head of a troupe that has survived more battles than most, they the troupe trust their lives to each other. The banter of the troupes as they go from battle to battle shows how tight they are and later shows how they can lay down their lives for each other.

One of the better films of 2014 and one of the better WWII films around.
