‘The Accountant 2’: Funnier Than the First One

Ben Affleck playing older bro to Bernthal’s little bro is terrific, because If I had to guess the most annoying little brother in showbiz—it'd be Casey Affleck.

“The Accountant” (2016) introduced the titular forensic accountant Christian Wolff (Oscar-winner Ben Affleck). Chris is not a geek. He specializes in money-laundering for some of the world’s most dangerous criminals. He owns a military special warfare operator’s massive gun arsenal too, and knows how to use it like a boss.
