Free if you have Prime.
I know why he asked though. Plenty of titles look like they are available on Prime but then when you go to watch it you need to have Showtime plus Prime, and the planets must be in the proper alignment, or it's actually $19.99. LOL

I loved the first one, enjoyed parts of this one too but overall felt this was a pretty weak sequel. Not Die Hard 2 weak but nowhere near as strong as the first Accountant. And the constant whining by Jon's character made me think I was watching Scott Caan in early seasons Hawaii 5-0 instead of the no nonsense, always in control little brother from the first movie. The action was good but there's 10 minutes or so I could really do without.

Die Hard 2 isn’t weak. Accountant 2 was really bad. The only good part was the hacking scene.

You're right, I screwed up. I was distracted while typing and had meant to say Speed 2. I liked Die Hard 2 quite a bit although it wasn't up to the originial.

And I don't think I can call this one "really bad" but it was really disappointing. They just made some horrible choices with the interactions of all three main characters.

Yeah no sequel is Speed 2 bad…

I thought Accountant was at least two tiers below the original when it comes to quality. It was underwhelming and cheap. It’s probably the only time I’ve ever been sick of Bernthal in anything he’s been in.

Disagree.
This movie is fantastic. Nowhere near as much action as I was expecting. But they really explored the relationship between the brothers.
Affleck did a great job of portraying a developing Chris,...and this may have been Jon Bernthals best work.

The bar scene was awesome.

As an autistic person this one really nailed many of the social difficulties we have to deal with...not just the toll it takes on us but also the people we care about. The conversations that Chris and Braxton had mirrored conversations I have had with most of my family.
People think we dont love. That we dont feel...and it hurts the people we care about, and that hurts us.
Chris finally making an effort to put himself out there...in the bar,..was amazing...and then when there was an issue his first thought was of Braxton..."Oh this is great, I dont think my brother is having a good time. But now he will...hit me!" Totally on point.
For Braxton...after it was all over his big brother took him camping. Probably been waiting his entire life for that.
Just like the first time I took my brother to the pool hall when he was 38.

awesome movie. It is worthy of your 90 minutes

Most of it was fine, until the end which turned into a kill everyone rehash which has been done 1000 times before
