This film is a Trumpian MAGA homage. There’s an audience for this but not me. It’s so bad it will be immortal. It’s a paradigm of ‘How not to make an intelligent film’.

Hollywood have their MAGA film but is this a Trump ransom film? Make it or I’ll close you down! I think we should be told. Obviously the film portrays Mexicans as evil, child killing, people-trafficking monsters. They’re also NO MATCH for two brothers who are ALL- AMERICAN. (OUR psychopaths are BETTER than YOUR psychopaths.) 50 MEXICANS against 2 highly motivated AMERICANS – bring it on.

The plot is buried in mayhem and it isn’t worth the effort trying to discover what it’s all about.

The writer, Bill Dubugue, wrote the brilliant Netflix series Ozark. Ozark featured an accountant who did money laundering for Mexican criminals. It was well plotted and coherent with believable characters: flawed and interesting. There was a strong female lead off-setting the machismo of a gangster series. All-in-all very satisfactory.

The Accountant:2 is the antidote of Ozark.

Conspiracy Footnote

Accountant 1 came out in 2016 when Trump was elected.

Accountant 2 came out in 2025 when Trump was elected.

Coincidence? I think NOT!

Gay Footnote

Jon Bernthal has a wonderful scene where he prances round a luxury hotel room in tight underpants flashing his (very) muscular body. Plots are irrelevant in the MAGA world.
