The Accountant 2 OTT Release Date: When and where to watch Ben Affleck & Jon Bernthal's action thriller online
The Accountant 2 OTT Release Date: After carving out a solid reputation as one of the more quietly clever action thrillers of the last decade, The Accountant is officially back, and this time, the stakes are higher, the punches are harder, and the numbers? Well, they're even deadlier. The Accountant 2 is heading to your screens this summer, with a global streaming premiere on Prime Video starting June 5, 2025.
It arrives hot off a successful theatrical run, where it bagged the SXSW Audience Award and earned that rare 'Certified Fresh' badge. So if you missed catching Ben Affleck's number-crunching, gun-toting vigilante in theatres, now's your chance to dive headfirst into the chaos.
So, where did we leave Christian Wolff?
If you remember the first film, you'll recall that Christian Wolff wasn't your typical accountant. A math savant with autism, Christian lives a double life: forensic accountant by day, and freelance enforcer for criminal organisations by night. The man's as comfortable with spreadsheets as he is with semi-automatic weapons.
By the end of The Accountant (2016), Wolff had narrowly escaped the law, reconciled with a sliver of humanity through his friendship with Dana (Anna Kendrick), and vanished into the shadows. But unfinished business and a family secret in the form of his brother Brax (Jon Bernthal) was left hanging in the air.
What's the plot this time around?
The Accountant 2 doesn't waste time reintroducing us to Wolff's strange but fascinating world. It picks up with Christian trying to keep a low profile. But when an old contact is murdered, and the only clue left behind is a cryptic message: 'Find the accountant,' Christian is pulled right back into the danger zone.
This is part of something bigger. Much bigger. To crack the case, Christian must turn to his estranged, highly trained brother Brax. Their dynamic is electric: think bulletproof family baggage with fists flying. Ben Affleck and Jon Bernthal bounce off each other like cold steel - gritty, intense, and surprisingly emotional.
Cynthia Addai-Robinson reprises her role as Marybeth Medina, now a high-ranking Treasury official who once hunted Christian, but now ends up as a reluctant partner. Together, they unravel a twisted conspiracy, one that involves corporate greed, shadowy syndicates, and a trail of bodies.
Who's behind the scenes?
This sequel brings back the winning team. Gavin O'Connor, who directed the original, returns to the director's chair. The script is penned by Bill Dubuque, whose knack for morally complex characters shines once again. Ben Affleck, aside from starring, also wears the producer's hat alongside Lynette Howell Taylor and Mark Williams.
The cast is solid and stacked. Alongside Affleck and Bernthal, you've got Cynthia Addai-Robinson as Marybeth Medina, Daniella Pineda in a new, undisclosed but reportedly high-stakes role, Allison Robertson, and J.K. Simmons, possibly reprising his character from the original. And if you haven't seen the first one (or want a quick rewatch), The Accountant (2016) is also streaming on Prime Video.

Stolen review: Karan Tejpal's film steals your attention and never lets it go
Actor Abhishek Banerjee's rise to fame with 'Stree' has been well documented. But his versatility and agility to take on a role that demands grit shine best with this week's release - 'Stolen'. Directed by debutant filmmaker Karan Tejpal, 'Stolen' made its mark at various film festivals before making its way to Prime Video. At a time when streaming titles can be challenging and taxing, 'Stolen', in its 90-odd minutes, zips through like a fast car that takes sharp U-turns and shifts gear when you least expect around the events leading up to what happens when a child gets stolen from a sleeping woman at a railway station, it revolves around two brothers - Gautam (Abhishek Banerjee) and Raman (Shubham Vardhan) - who are in a rush to attend their mother's destination wedding. What seems like a casual encounter and banter between two brothers soon turns into a nightmare when a woman named Jhumpa (Mia Maelzer) claims Raman is a possible accomplice in the case of her missing police get involved, tempers rise, and soon suspicion is drawn towards these brothers who, despite their pleas, are sinking into this quick sand of treacherous and murky terrain that doesn't trust outsiders from the city. 'Stolen' is fast, it's tense, and extremely taut. The events unfold so fast that you are left with no choice but to jump on this reckless ride to explore a very unpredictable place. The film explores various themes, like casteism, mob lynching, and the ever-increasing gap between the have and have-nots. advertisementDebutant director Karan Tejpal is able to bring out performances from his cast that are raw, unrehearsed and utterly engaging. While both Banerjee and Vardhan are at the forefront of this madness, the supporting cast is equally good. The camera work is superb as it moves from various terrains, capturing the ever-changing mood of the film. The writing and the dialogues are less dramatic or flashy. The attempt to keep most of the film real and gritty works beautifully.'Stolen' is one of the finest films to come out from a first-time filmmaker. Like the story it seeks to tell, the overall experience might not be near perfect. But then, the agony, fear, and pain of a mother for her child that it showcases make it impossible for you not to jump on this ride. 'Stolen' steals your attention from the opening frame and keeps you hooked till the very end.4 out of 5 stars for 'Stolen'.Trending Reel
