The Accountant 2 – Action, Autism, and the Art of Control

Episode Notes

In today’s episode, we take a different angle on The Accountant 2 by exploring how the film continues its respectful portrayal of a lead character on the autism spectrum, without turning it into a gimmick. Christian Wolff is not a typical action hero — he’s quiet, methodical, and intense, with a mind that sees the world in patterns.

This sequel expands on his complexity, especially through the lens of family. Jon Bernthal’s character Braxton adds conflict but also connection, and the two share some of the film’s most moving scenes. The movie doesn’t slow down on action either — it’s filled with tactical fights, smart escapes, and unexpected twists.

We’ll talk about how this character-driven thriller balances violence and vulnerability — something few films manage to do well. And we’ll dive into Gavin O’Connor’s directing choices and why they make this sequel stand out.
