Good story and action
Worth seeing, IMO.

Agreed.

Well worth a Sunday afternoon

I saw the first one a long time ago when it came out. Is it necessary to rewatch the first one before seeing the second?

I enjoyed the heck out of it. It wasn’t Citizen Kane but it had action, some humor and a decent story line. I’ll watch it again, just like I’ve watched the original a bunch of times.

In addition to my previous review something I noticed, not to do with the movie was the lack of employees.
They have Kiosks in front for tickets, machines for all eat/drinks no employees except one guy at the entrance to take tickets and someone at the end of the movie making sure everyone leaves.
All cashless of course.

Most have gone to online ticket ordering, setup an account, select movie, type of screen, time of viewing, pick your seats.... Some of them near us have a bar for beer, wine....

Long way from the original ticket booth days..

^^^ And Raisinets...

Saw this yesterday. $15 for 2:50 pm show?

What was that special handgun used by Bernthal? It showed up in Europe and in Juarez.

I found this to be a curious mix of story elements. Mysterious controllers of electronics. Brothers and that dynamic. Righting wrongs by doing wrong. Suspension of reality required for most action sequences.

I will not watch another sequel of this story.

Saw it a few weeks ago haven't been to the movies since Dead Pool 3.

Was a fun outing paid 10 bucks thanks to my friend having a movie club membership. Not as good as the first movie.

As for the handgun it's a Taran Tactical Sandviper. It's the same gun used in the end of John Wick 4 but it's a Unique Brown color similar to burnt bronze and has a optic cut slide. For some reason the Black version is not optic cut. Expensive gun.

kid and i watched it last Tuesday when it was $7 ticket day.

I was wondering how his brother handed him a 2011 magazine for his Sand Viper then I remembered TriArc makes 2011 style guns too. I bought 2011 mags from them way back in the day because they were offering great prices for LE

wife and I saw it Monday,

decent movie,

Available on Prime now.

That's the ticket! Thanks for the update.

I’m not sure what the story was and how various scenes tied together. But the brother was good and funny to watch. I liked that they had each other’s backs. Didn’t like lady cop much.

I wish I could drive a truck like they did.

I'm curious, do they not inspect vehicles coming into the United States? How is Christian supposed to get his armory back across the border?

The team back at Harbor Neuroscience. If they can take over a military drone then they can certainly find an ingress point back into the states.

Same/same. I’ve watched the first many times.

I like this a lot. The autistic kids, in their battle royale, for the various tasks, was a very cool element. It’s different than the first, but I liked it very much. Bernthal was hilarious. Angie was red hot too, in those daisy dukes and cowboy hat

Justine and her new posse sets it up for him...how many folks recognized one of the kids being the same one introduced at the end of the first movie

Yes.

I watched this last night, it was a good flick.

I bought The Accountant in anticipation of buying Accountant 2. Because what kind of a crazy person would have Accountant 2 all by itself in their library.

I was surprised it went to Prime in such a short time after release. Did it not get enough views on release? Was the first movie not successful enough?

I was hesitant about a movie with the two brothers teaming together. But I bought the idea shortly after the first scene they were together. Saw more of the younger brother and how he’s not normal himself.

I suppose they had to expand their nerd support base to scale up the IT support they were going to need.

Many comedic scenes. It took me a while to understand the punchline of the younger brother looking at the pictures on the wall and he said, “She didn’t kill this one. Or that one.” Well played.

Very enjoyable. These two movies of Ben Affleck were enjoyable for me along with the movie where he hid the winning lottery ticket in the newspaper at the bottom of a bird cage. I was hoping that movie had a sequel as well when I first saw it.
