The TelegraphRobbie CollinApr 25, 2025
The plotting meanders its way to the very brink of incoherence, but as the scenes tick past, the vague sense of a many-tendrilled mystery being solved does gradually descend. Read full review

EmpireKim NewmanApr 24, 2025
Affleck and Bernthal make a funny, if morally dubious, double act, as Christian’s autism lets sociopathic hit man Brax think of himself as the ‘normal’ brother. Best bit: the line-dancing scene. Read full review

Little White LiesHannah StrongApr 24, 2025
Ultimately the mash-up of genres doesn’t quite come together in a satisfactory manner, clashing to the point of whiplash. Read full review

New York Magazine (Vulture)Alison WillmoreMar 9, 2025
The new movie leans into comedy in ways that veer toward the cutesy — Chris at a speed dating event, Chris at a line-dancing night — but the scenes of the brothers together are great, providing glimpses of the co-dependent boys they were before they grew into trauma-stunted men who regularly commit acts of bloodshed.

The Hollywood ReporterLovia GyarkyeMar 9, 2025
For the most part though, O’Connor’s direction is disciplined. He wrings humor from nearly every moment by staging action scenes as blunt as Christian’s commentary and employing transitions as precise as the accountant’s aim. Read full review

The GuardianAdrian HortonMar 9, 2025
That’s mostly for the better. The Accountant 2 is a more fun affair than The Accountant, if you’re a fan of very loud shoot ’em ups, nonsensical crime webs and rogue good guys fighting obviously very bad guys, though this outing is sadly missing Anna Kendrick. Read full review

It manages to offer more heart and more laughs the second time around. Read full review

ReelViewsJames BerardinelliApr 25, 2025
The movie works when focused on character interaction and buddy-movie tropes, but the action elements are perfunctory at best and boring at worst. Bill Dubuque’s script is never able to balance out the ledger. Read full review

Chicago TribuneMichael PhillipsApr 24, 2025
Given its premise, you wouldn’t expect The Accountant 2 to go for quite so much buddy comedy, but life is full of surprises. Read full review

Slant MagazineDerek SmithApr 18, 2025
As The Accountant 2 drags out to over two hours, and its two storylines remain tonally at war with one another, it becomes increasingly clear that, two films in, this series still hasn’t figured out exactly what it wants to be. Read full review

The truth is that pacing often trumps realism, and The Accountant 2 just doesn’t build enough momentum. Read full review

The IndependentClarisse LoughreyApr 25, 2025
The bigger crisis at the heart of the film is its inability to justify why we should have come back here in the first place. Read full review

This go-round, everything’s louder and more banal. Read full review

Austin ChronicleRichard WhittakerApr 24, 2025
Peeking its head out from this pile of trash is the ghost of one of the year’s most wildly entertaining movies. Read full review
