This sequel gets its numbers right.

I was one of the few film critics to enjoy “The Accountant” from 2016, which you may recall had Ben Affleck playing Christian Wolff, an autistic accountant, who handles the accounts for criminal organizations to uncover thefts. As an autistic person, I wasn’t offended by its portrayal of autism, as I was with “Sia’s “Music.” I was interested to see what directions the film would take.

So, because of the first film’s success, we’re given a sequel “The Accountant 2,” which is once again directed by Gavin O’Connor, and is almost as entertaining as the first. And speaking from an autistic mind, I can tell when Christian still has his qualities and difficulties.

For example, he’s the only one to wear a business suit during a speed dating game, although his IQ doesn’t interest his potential dates, who seem to be more interested in his looks.

Another example: his brother Braxton (Jon Bernthal) questions whether it’s Christian’s condition talking or himself talking. He responds: “It’s me.” And when the brother criticizes him for not calling him to wish him, for instance, Happy Birthday, he also responds: “Your birthday is November 11.”

I remember when I was little, my mother told me not to run around with bare feet, and I said: “I don’t have bear feet; I have people feet.” And I also remember a few years ago, my father told me to “Put a beer in this cup,” and I put a beer can in the cup. He meant “Pour me a beer.” And both times, hilarity endured.

I do try to show how even autistic people can be funny, as wisely demonstrated in last year’s “Ezra.” And I also try to prove how, while there is a high unemployment rate for people on the spectrum, we can be more than meets the eye. I have three jobs, one of them being a film critic for NEWHD Radio, which is dedicated to hiring people on the spectrum. And Christian Wolff has more than proven himself of that in two movies. What more proof do you people need?

As the sequel, begins, the former USTD Raymond King (JK Simmons) is killed as he has info about a missing child. And therefore, the young agent Marybeth Medina (Cynthia Addai- Robinson) must enlist the help of Christian to put the pieces of the puzzle together. His unique gifts are more than beneficial to this case, although being the law enforcing suck up, Medina doesn’t like how he handles bad people or having his autistic team hack into a person’s computer. There’s even a scene when she leaves and threatens to arrest him, but if I were him, I would have times when she would come crawling back to him. Here, that’s almost the case.

There’s a lot of bad people here, which consists of child traffickers and a mysterious assassin (Daniella Pineda). And so, even though his introduction is long and a little confusing, an estranged Braxton comes back into Christian’s life.

“The Accountant 2” keeps us going, and whether we have the autistic condition or know somebody who has it, we can easily acknowledge the humor and dialogue within. We also get a lot of action and bullets and stabbings-some of them go on a little long, others go by very fast-and it makes for popcorn entertainment. I often suggest that if I knew everything, I would be rude. So I can’t do the math like Christian does, but it’s still fun to see how Affleck handles his character’s ability (and we should all consider Autism an ability). And this is me telling off Maddie Ziegler.

It’s also suggested that if O’Connor makes a third movie, it would be like “Rain Man” on steroids.” And seeing Affleck and Bernthal’s characters here and how they’re both portrayed, that actually makes sense. So, it’s definitely a good sequel.
