THE ACCOUNTANT 2
Ben Affleck reprises the role of the neurodiverse antuhero he played in the 2016 original. Castmates include Job Benrthal, Cynthia Addai-Robinson, Daniella Pineda, Allison Robertson and J.K. Simmons, and director Gavin O'Connor returns as well.
As Christian Wolff, Affleck thrives with an intensity and range he rarely displays in other action roles. The character teams up with his wildcard brother (Bernthal), as well as U.S. Treasure Deputy Director Marybeth Medina (Addai-Robinson), to unravel a deadly conspiracy. Every bit as crackling as the original film. "The Accountant 2" delivers the goods as a taut thriller.
THE PHOENICIAN SCHEME
Writer/director Wes Anderson maintains his reputation of turning in oddball wonders that thrive on offbeat wavelengths. Benicio del Toro stars as Anatole "Zsa-zsa" Korda, an unscrupulous European business magnate who appoints his estranged daughter, Leisl (Mia Threapleton) to be his heir after he survives an assassination attempt. The delightful ensaemble cast includes the likes of Tom Hanks, Bryan Cranston, Hppe Davis and Scarlett Johansson.
Fans of Anderson's trademark intelligent goofiness will eat thsi stuff up. Wild moments abound, and as with most Anderson films, the subtext is incredibly dense, making the film worthy of multiple viewings. Bonus feeaturettes include "The Cast," "The Airplane," "Marseille Bob's" and Zsa-zsa-'s World."
