Stylised as The Accountant² (in some posters and title card), Gavin O'Connor and Bill Dubuque return to direct and pen screenplay respectively.
Ben Affleck - Christian Wolff/The Accountant
Jon Bernthal - Braxton
Cynthia Addai-Robinson - Marybeth Medina
Daniella Pineda - Anaϊs
J. K. Simmons - Raymond King
Summary
After her boss Raymond King is killed by unknown assailants, Marybeth Medina, deputy director of Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) is forced into contacting Christian Wolff to solve murderous puzzle.
With the help of his volatile younger brother Braxton (who he's not seen in eight years), Christian hops across America applying mind and muscle to find out the truth, with a mysterious female assassin pivotal to their investigation.
Call of Juarez
Buddy comedy works because of the chemistry between Affleck and Bernthal.
Ignoring the nonsense of Anaϊs acquiring savant syndrome, story essentially boils down to Wolff and Braxton infiltrating a compound to rescue kids from cartel-backed human traffickers.
Gunplay takes place during the final 20 minutes and although we've seen it a million times before, Rambo shit is really well done.
At one point, Braxton tells a woman about how Terry the dog (Toto) in The Wizard of Oz got paid more per week than human Munchkins.
Ridiculous but true.
