A Closer Look: 'The Accountant 2'
Gavin O'Connor's "The Accountant 2" welcomes back Christian Wolff (Affleck), the genius with a penchant for cracking intricate problems.
This time, Wolff finds himself enmeshed in a case that takes a darker turn when an acquaintance is murdered, leaving a cryptic message to "find the accountant." The investigation soon proves to be more demanding, leading Wolff to his estranged and deadly brother, Braxton (Bernthal).
Joining forces with U.S. Treasury Deputy Director Marybeth Medina (Cynthia Addai-Robinson), they delve into a twisted conspiracy. As the duo uncovers layers of deceit, they find themselves under fire from adversaries who will stop at nothing to protect their secrets.
“The Accountant 2” also stars Daniella Pineda and Allison Robertson.
