The Accountant 2 picks up years after the original, with Ben Affleck's Christian Wolff pulled back into a murky web of trafficking and family secrets. Jon Bernthal's Braxton returns as both muscle and comic foil, giving the sequel a more playful edge that works surprisingly well. Though the plot leans into thriller territory, it finds room for warmth and some unexpectedly tender moments.
At over two hours, it does sag in places, with stretches that could've been trimmed. But it's saved by the charm and chemistry of its leads, a more confident tone, and enough action to satisfy returning fans. You don't need to have seen the first film to follow this one, but it helps. Not perfect, but solid and memorable.
