"The Accountant 2" to Stream on Prime Video: Release Date, Plot, and How to Watch

A New Chapter for Christian Wolff

The Accountant 2 marks the return of Ben Affleck’s character, Christian Wolff—a highly skilled CPA with autism who made his mark in the first film. This sequel picks up where the original left off, as Wolff is drawn into solving the murder of a former associate. According to an Amazon MGM Studios logline, "Christian Wolff has a talent for solving complex problems. When an old acquaintance is murdered, leaving behind a cryptic message to 'find the accountant,' Wolff is compelled to solve the case." In his quest, Wolff recruits his estranged, younger brother Braxton (played by Jon Bernthal), promising fans an action-packed thriller with deep character dynamics.

Plot, Cast, and Critical Reception

The film follows:

• Christian Wolff (Ben Affleck) – Returning as the brilliant CPA with a penchant for unconventional investigations.

• Braxton Wolff (Jon Bernthal) – His mercenary younger brother, adding a layer of grit and complexity as they confront a deadly conspiracy.

• Supporting Cast: J.K. Simmons reprises his role as Raymond King, Cynthia Addai-Robinson appears as U.S. Treasury Deputy Director Marybeth Medina, while Daniella Pineda, Allison Robertson, Andrew Howard, Robert Morgan, and Grant Harvey complete the intriguing lineup.

Critically, The Accountant 2 has received mixed reviews. USA TODAY movie reviewer Brian Truitt awarded it ★★½ out of 4 stars, describing it as, “Take Ben Affleck’s original The Accountant, subtract the math, add country line dancing and multiply it by two brothers. The result is a crime thriller sequel that’s not as winning but still mostly satisfying.”
