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.

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.

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