The Accountant 2
A mysterious note from Treasury Chief, Ray King (J.K. Simmons), who’s gunned down in a nightclub raid puts Marybeth Medina (Cynthia Addai-Robinson) on the case; but, it will take the analytical power of the neurodivergent Christian Wolf (Ben Affleck), the accountant, and his brother Braxton (Jon Bernthal) to apply their methods of problem solving, legal and illegal, to get to the bottom of things while an ultra-lethal assassin is on the loose, tying up ends might get messy. 
Written by Bill Dubuque and Directed by Gavin O’Connor this big budget action thriller sets up with a convoluted plot that unfurls itself in lumpy fashion from start to finish, but in the meantime sets up for a handful of well choreographed action set pieces. And, the chemistry between Affleck and Bernthal does in fact have the cinematic X-factor to draw the viewer along for the ride, even when they’re not advancing the plot but instead providing more pulp or context. But, back to the uneven pacing, it’s the many moving parts of the Accountant 2 that makes this two hour and four minute piece overstay its welcome, albeit, the picture works in totality, but the Jenga like tower of plot points barely stands on its own by the end. Suspend disbelief and you’ll be just fine. The Accountant 2 is rated R.
