The Accountant 2 (15)

Ben Affleck returns as Christian Wolff in this smart, stylish sequel that leans into its offbeat charm to deliver plenty of action with unexpected heart.

Picking up eight years after the first film, Christian is drawn back into the fray when a cryptic message from a former ally leads him to a missing family and a dangerous trafficking ring. Reuniting with Treasury agent Marybeth Medina (Cynthia Addai-Robinson) and his estranged brother Braxton (Jon Bernthal), Christian once again blends precision accounting with deadly combat. The chemistry between Affleck and Bernthal is a highlight.

Their mismatched brotherly bond adds warmth, humour, and a surprising emotional core. Bernthal’s punchy energy balances Affleck’s cool intensity, while a sharp, likeable supporting cast deepens the story while keeping the thrills coming.

From pizza parlour money-laundering schemes to a honky-tonk dance floor in Texas, things are kept fresh, fun and occasionally funny without losing any edge. It moves quickly but doesn’t forget to slow down for the emotional beats, giving the action and character moments room to breathe. A solid, confident and consistently entertaining ride.
