The Accountant 2 Turned A Minor Plot Point In The First Movie Into Something I Never Would've Expected

The following contains spoilers for The Accountant 2, now playing in theatersThe Accountant 2 takes a minor plot point from the first film and expands it into one of the most intriguing elements of the series. The Accountant films follow Ben Affleck's Christian Wolff, a skilled accountant and money launderer. Living a solitary life but clearly in search of connections that his autism makes difficult to foster, Christian was a uniquely compelling riff on the action movie hero archetype, an unexpected enforcer who was as brilliant as he was dangerous — and with none of the forced charm that typically dominates lead characters in those kind of movies.
