Ben Affleck is back as the autistic accountant who launders money for villainous criminals in The Accountant 2.
In the official trailer, Christian Wolff (Affleck) continues to live a secluded life off the grid, working for some of the world’s most nefarious figures. Suddenly, Ray King (J.K. Simmons), Wolff’s former acquaintance, is murdered in cold blood. Before he dies, King writes, “Find the accountant,” on his arm. This leads Christian to U.S. Treasury Deputy Director Marybeth Medina (Cynthia Addai-Robinson), who needs The Accountant’s help to solve Ray’s murder.
In need of some help, Christian calls his brother Brax (Jon Bernthal) to work the case with him. The newly formed trio uncovers a deadly conspiracy that puts them in the crosshairs of a network of killers. To survive, the brotherly duo must rely on their combat skills to take down the criminal enterprise.
