#MovietimeInManhattan @WBD HIGHLY RECOMMENDED BY WHOM YOU KNOW, THE ACCOUNTANT 2 ARRIVES ON 4K UHD ™, BLU-RAY ™ AND DVD ON AUGUST 12
“The Accountant 2,” from Amazon MGM Studios, will be available for purchase on 4K UHD ™, Blu-ray ™ and DVD on August 12.
Unfortunately, The Academy (Oscars) did not agree with us on the first one, but we again were impressed with the Accountant 2. We like how it's shown as a square: to the second power mathematically. We are super pro-math! Unfortunately Anna Kendrick is not in this one; we think she was a huge plus in the first.
This edition is gripping from the opening sequence, and throughout, Ben Affleck delivers a standout performance. We have always loved his work, starting with Good Will Hunting and in more recent years with AIR.
Unnerving technology, gripping action scenes and smart kids round out this winner. J.K. Simmons also deserves accolades.
