The Accountant 2 Blu-ray Movie Review

Kirk Lazarus, eat your heart out.

Reviewed by Randy Miller III August 8, 2025

I'm convinced that The Accountant first came about one day when writer Bill Dubuque watched a double-feature of Good Will Hunting and The Bourne Identity, made a neurodivergent fanfic mash-up with extra childhood trauma... and Matt Damon passed on the film adaptation, so Ben Affleck got the part instead. But perhaps a more fitting origin story for this oddball action-drama would be "What if Rain Man's Raymond Babbitt kicked ass?" Truth be told, I never saw the original film before last week and did so only in preparation for this sequel because, despite boasting modest box office success back in 2016, absolutely no one but no one saw The Accountant 2 coming after a nine-year absence.

For a synopsis and roast of the main feature, please see my recent 4K edition. Proportionately, this Blu-ray release offers similarly-scaled visual merits, the same great Dolby Atmos audio, and the same total lack of extras... but for whatever reason, it's currently priced higher than the UHD so it might be even tougher to recommended.

The Accountant 2 Blu-ray Movie, Video Quality 

As usual, please see my recent review of the separate 4K edition for an overview of the film's visual aesthetic, which is extremely low-lit during several extended key scenes but the Blu-ray's 1080p/SDR transfer handles most everything well enough. Given that The Accountant 2 is a native 4K film, there's obviously going to be a lower level of fine detail here... but aside from light amounts of shimmering on highly-textured and other visually complex objects, as well as slightly harsher deep blacks and bright whites, there won't be a world of difference between this and the UHD disc on small to medium-sized setups. Color representation is proportionately good as well, with the caveat that HDR can and does improve overall accuracy to a degree. But I'd still argue that this presentation will certainly get the job done if you're not set up for 4K yet, so fans with more modest setups should buy with confidence.

For details about the film's Dolby Atmos audio (identical on both formats), please see my recent review of the separate 4K edition. Please note that the foreign audio and subtitle options may differ from that release.

The Accountant 2 Blu-ray Movie, Overall Score and Recommendation 

Director Gavin O'Connor, writer Bill Dubuque, several original crew members, and four familiar faces return for The Accountant 2, the extremely belated and unexpected follow-up to their 2016 film. Nine years haven't been kind to this franchise, though: not only have the highest-billed actors forgotten how their characters behaved the first time around, but the patchy and overstuffed script makes this a surprisingly low-energy affair with far too many extended detours. Though not totally without merit, The Accountant 2 is about as unnecessary as sequels get. Warner Bros.' separate 4K and Blu-ray editions offer solid A/V presentations, but that's it. Only established fans need apply.
