8 years later, Christian Wolff is still a loner accountant with A Beautiful Mind powers and secret service skills who launders money for dangerous agencies while maintaining a low profile. This time, he's joined by his estranged brother (played by John Bernthal in a wonderfully unhinged performance) and it's instantly an improvement over the first film because of their buddy dynamic. Together, they set out to bust up a human trafficking ring and recover a missing Salvadorean family. Despite the more generic elements at play, it's an above average thriller, and a third film is already (woefully) in development.
