The Accountant 2 follows Wolff, an autistic accountant and a favorite CPA of crime bosses, as he is compelled to solve an old acquaintance’s murder, recruiting his killer-for-hire brother ( Jon Bernthal) to help, and, in the process, uncovers a deadly conspiracy.

Although sequels rarely surpass the original, Gavin O'Connor's long-gestating 'The Accountant 2' is a pleasant surprise.

SXSW: If nothing else, Gavin O'Connor's sequel deserves credit for figuring out that an autistic Ben Affleck is simply not enough to carry an action movie on his own.
