The Plot…

Raymond King, the retired director of the Financial Crimes Division of the US Treasury is found murdered.  King was working a case.  Before he was killed, King was able to write on his arm, “Find the Accountant”.  Marybeth Medina, King’s former protégé, and current FCD director, knows the meaning.  She and King had worked with Christian Wolf aka The Accountant on a case eight years prior.

Marybeth reaches out to Wolf and informs Wolf of King’s murder.  King and Marybeth meet.  She has access to all of the data King was using, but can’t decipher it’s meaning.  In short order Wolf determines the links.  King was working on bringing down an international human trafficking cartel.

Realizing that he’s going to need help, Wolf contacts his estranged hitman brother, Braxton.  Things are about to heat up.

Let’s go!

Thoughts (beware of spoilers)…

The Accountant was released in 2016.  This sequel was announced in 2017.  A third film is a possibility.  At one point a television series was also considered.

Affleck and Bernthal have real chemistry as brothers.  The scene at the cowboy bar is a highlight.
