Ben Affleck is back as forensic-accountant-turned-Rambo, Christian Wolff, in “The Accountant 2,” the sequel to his 2016 action hit, “ The Accountant .” Your Boston buddy reunites with director Gavin O’Connor and screenwriter Bill Dubuque, as well as Jon Bernthal, who reprises his role as Christian’s hitman brother, Braxton.
