(In Theaters April 25) This sequel to 2016’s implausible but distractingly fun The Accountant brings back most of its major players. Reclusive, autistic CPA Christian Wolff (Ben Affleck) and his estranged brother, talented hit-man Braxton (Jon Bernthal), are drawn into a plot to revenge the death of an old friend (J.K. Simmons). The brothers want to reconnect, but largely flounder except while working as a team.
