Ben Affleck and Jon Bernthal are back as Christian and Brax in the action sequel, The Accountant 2, coming to Prime Video.
After a successful box office run, the Certified Fresh, SXSW Audience Award-winning film, The Accountant 2, is coming to Prime Video, just in time for summer! (Read our review here.)
Back in 2016, The Accountant hit movie screens and surprised us all. What many expected to be a typical thriller surprised everyone with its depth. Ben Affleck took on the lead role of Christian Wolff, an autistic accountant who launders money for some of the world’s most dangerous criminals. When hitmen come after him, he shifts from a mild-mannered individual to a fierce killer. One of the biggest surprises in the film comes from the character Brax, played by Jon Bernthal. Initially, the audience believes he is the main villain. However, it is revealed that he is actually Christian’s brother, who assists him during the film’s climactic moments. Although receiving mixed reviews from critics, the film was a success, grossing $155. 2 million against a $44 million budget.
Now, nine years later, we have a sequel. The Accountant 2 is due for release on the 5th of June on Prime Video. Once again, Ben Affleck and Jon Bernthal return to play Christian and Brax. J. K. Simmons and Cynthia Addai-Robinson rejoin them. They also reprise their roles from the first film as Ray King and Marybeth Medina, respectively. Daniella Pineda is one of a number of new actors to join the cast for the sequel. The Prime Video trailer for the film has been released. Start adding up those numbers again as we take a look.
