This much-improved sequel to “The Accountant” was a pleasure to watch. Ben Affleck returns as Christian Wolf, a mob accountant with autism. The condition allows him to focus on numbers intensely, with no distractions. He can find patterns that are obscure to other accountants. His specialty is helping gangsters and terrorists find and stop internal skimming of the organization’s funds. John Bernthal returns as Brax, Wolf’s estranged brother, as does J.K. Simmons as a retired Treasury official.

“Warfare” is the most intense war movie since the 2008 hit “The Hurt Locker,” starring Jeremy Renner. The 2008 film won six Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Screenplay. “Warfare” is of the same quality. The story is about one mission by a team of Navy SEALs in Ramadi, Iraq, in 2006. The entire movie is a linear story covering the real-time event, about an hour and a half. Every aspect of the film comes from the memories of the men who were there that day.

Writer/director Scott Briggs, in his first feature-length film, walks us through the horrible fire and its deadly consequences.
