A sequel to The Accountant is finally hitting theaters this week, nine years after the first film came out, and we don’t know about you, but we think nine years is a long time between movies, so a rewatch is definitely in order before heading to the theaters this weekend.
In The Accountant, Ben Affleck plays the titular character, a.k.a. Christian Wolff, an autistic accountant who balances books and sanitizes records for some of the world’s most dangerous criminals. When a Treasury agent starts to close in on him, Christian takes on a job working with a legitimate state-of-the-art robotics company, but the body count begins to rise as he gets closer to the truth behind a million-dollar discrepancy.
Jon Bernthal, who plays Affleck’s brother Braxton, will return in an expanded role in the sequel, in addition to J.K. Simmons and Cynthia Addai-Robinson. The sequel also reunites the original director and screenwriter team of Gavin O’Connor and Bill Dubuque.
