The Accountant 2
When her former boss is killed by unknown assassins, Treasury Agent Marybeth
Medina (Cynthia Addai-Robinson) is forced to contact
Christian Wolff (Ben Affleck) to solve the murder. With the help
of his estranged but highly lethal brother Brax (Jon Bernthal),
Chris applies his brilliant mind and less than legal methods to piece together
the unsolved puzzle. As they get closer to the truth, the trio draw the
attention of some of the most ruthless killers alive, all intent on putting a
stop to their search. The movie leans into what made the first one work
calculated action, smart pacing, and a character who's not your typical action
hero. There's actually some depth here, and a bit more heart than I expected.
