There’s something heartwarming about the enduring friendship between Matt Damon and Ben Affleck. The pair started out together, and they still seem to be as close as ever. While speaking with GQ, Affleck explained how their careers began to take different paths when Damon started picking his projects based on the director.

“Matt learned and knew earlier than I did to really key in on the director as the fundamental basis on which he’s going to make a decision whether to do a movie or not, which was a very wise choice,” Affleck said. “And also he has certainly had opportunities to do movies that like—it’s not like I was saying, ‘No, Scorsese, no, Spielberg, I’m not going to be in your movie.’ We’re in situations of our opportunities, and we’re subject to that.“

Affleck continued, “I would’ve taken Saving Private Ryan.

One of Ben Affleck’s most underrated movies has become a streaming hit nearly 10 years after its release. Affleck stars alongside Jon Bernthal and Anna Kendrick in The Accountant, the 2016 conspiracy thriller following Christian Wolff (Affleck), a math guru who does some work for a dangerous client that leads to a rising body count with the Treasury Department on his tail. The Accountant began streaming on Prime Video not long ago and earned a spot in the top 10, sitting at #9 at the time of writing. This comes almost exactly one month before the sequel, The Accountant 2, hits theaters everywhere. J.K. Simmons and John Lithgow also star in the film, which earned scores of 53% from critics and 77% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes.

The Accountant 2 has already been set for release on April 25, but the film recently premiered at SXSW, and early reviews paint it as a sequel even better than the original.

Although streaming platforms have made our lives easier by bringing in a plethora of films each month and often producing their own, nothing quite beats the theatrical experience. In fact, the right movie can make you feel lost in its charm for hours, if not days, demonstrating why the big-screen experience matters more than what many people believe.

As a result, many movie enthusiasts still prefer to see them in theaters, creating an ongoing demand for more projects. If you're wondering what to watch the following month with so many new releases, we've got you covered. Below is a list of all the films that will be available in theaters in April 2025, with some highlighted based on their significance.

Ben Affleck remains one of the most recognizable actors working in Hollywood. Some of his most notable early movies include Dazed and Confused (1993), Chasing Amy (1997), and Good Will Hunting (1997), the last of which won him and Matt Damon a Best Screenplay Oscar. With the release of Michael Bay's Armageddon in 1998, though, Affleck became more than just a talented actor – he became a movie star.

Following Armageddon, Affleck played the lead in Pearl Harbor (2001) before playing iconic Tom Clancy hero Jack Ryan in The Sum of All Fears (2002). That led to the infamous Daredevil in 2003, which was not well-received, but Affleck remained a compelling leading man, appearing in hits like The Town (2010), Argo (2012), and Gone Girl (2014). He even went on to earn praise for his performance as Batman in several Dcu movies. Not long after his debut as the iconic Caped Crusader, though, Affleck appeared in an action thriller that...

For a film that you would be hard-pressed to find on a list of Dwayne Johnson’s best movies, Snitch is one of those movies that just keeps coming back time and time again on free streaming platforms. This time, the 2013 movie has resurfaced on Tubi and has been holding strong mid-top 10 for the best part of a week.

Snitch centers on John Matthews (Johnson), a father whose teenage son lands in prison after unwittingly accepting a package filled with illegal substances. The tough sentencing guidelines mean a hefty prison sentence, but Matthews offers to infiltrate a dangerous cartel on behalf of the DEA, all in hopes of reducing his son’s sentence. Unlike Johnson’s usual roles that are all about brutal showdowns and brute strength, this time he relies more on his emotions and has to play a role that relies on more than his muscles.

I was lucky to attend SXSW in Austin, Texas this year. It marked my first time attending what’s quickly leapfrogged up the list of important festivals. It used to be that Cannes, TIFF, and Sundance were the major ones, but it can’t be denied that as the indie film scene has changed, the kinds of movies connecting with audiences just aren’t what they used to be. SXSW strikes an interesting balance between indie films and mainstream studio fare, albeit of a somewhat more elevated pedigree. It’s led to some high-profile premieres for the festival recently, including Air, Everything Everywhere All At Once and more.

This year, we got the premiere of the long-awaited The Accountant 2 (winner of the SXSW audience award), the latest Blumhouse thriller, Drop, plus the anticipated sequel, Another Simple Favor. So what were the best movies we saw? Here’s our list!

The South by Southwest Film & TV Festival (SXSW) has announced the Audience Award winners, and Gavin O’Connor’s The Accountant 2 has taken home the award for the Headliners section.

“Our deepest thanks to the filmmakers, audiences, and volunteers who made this year’s SXSW Film & TV Festival exceptional,” said Claudette Godfrey, VP Film & TV. “We assembled another stellar program that puts independently made narratives, documentaries, TV series, and Xr experiences on the same stage as studio films and TV shows. The magic of shared viewing experiences and a sense of community continued to define our festival, and we’re excited for all of this year’s projects to reach even wider audiences beyond SXSW!“

Ben Affleck’s gripping crime thriller The Town is heading to streaming, giving audiences a chance to revisit one of the best gangster films of the 2000s.

Starting April 1, 2025, Tubi subscribers can watch The Town, a tense and action-packed heist film that cemented Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice's Affleck as both a skilled director and leading man. The story follows Doug MacRay (Affleck), a career criminal and mastermind behind a notorious gang of bank robbers in Boston’s Charlestown neighborhood. When Doug falls for Claire (Rebecca Hall), a bank manager who was taken hostage during one of their heists, he begins to question his way of life. Meanwhile, FBI Special Agent Adam Frawley (Jon Hamm) closes in, determined to bring down the gang. The film features an intense performance from Jeremy Renner as Doug’s unpredictable and violent best friend, a role that earned him an Academy Award nomination.

There has been a sequel in development for Gavin O’Connor’s The Accountant since the original film’s release and moderate success. In the nine years since the first film’s release, no one has exactly been clamoring for The Accountant 2, but this sequel is charming enough to win over audiences looking for an entertaining B-action picture with an A-list scale.

The Accountant 2 Review

The Accountant 2 sees Ben Affleck’s money launderer and assassin called out of his peaceful retirement when he has to investigate the death of a close friend and how it might connect to a missing person’s case and a human trafficking ring. Bill Dubuque’s script feels generic in such a way that it almost feels as if it could have been a spec script that retroactively had the characters from the first film added to it.

The story of The Accountant 2...

At SXSW, Director Gavin O'Connor tells Grae Drake the challenges of upping the ante for a sequel to a surprise breakout hit from 8 years ago, as well as how hard Cynthia Addai-Robinson's kicks are. Danielle Pineda shares her stunt training and why she named her coat after the stunt coordinator, and how Jk Simmons totally fooled her on set.

In this sequel, Christian Wolff applies his brilliant mind and illegal methods to reconstruct the unsolved puzzle of a Treasury chief's murder. In theaters April 25.

What was the secret sauce? Oscar-winner Ben Affleck’s compelling portrayal of Christian Wolff, an autistic savant who juggles the mundane world of certified public accounting with the high-stakes, clandestine world of sanitizing financial records for dangerous criminal and terrorist organizations. Imagine a character who can balance your books and break your kneecaps – that’s Wolff. The film’s success didn’t stop at the box office. It found a second life, captivating audiences on cable, home entertainment, and streaming platforms. And the buzz? It was deafening. Fans clamored for a sequel, and Hollywood listened.

Ben Affleck is back in the spotlight and soon on cinema screens, thanks to the South by Southwest premiere of the keenly awaited sequel The Accountant 2, set to grace theaters via Amazon MGM Studios.

Off-screen, the multihyphenate filmmaker resurfaces amid a plethora of self-contradictory rumors surrounding his romance with ex-wife Jennifer Garner, fresh off his split from Jennifer Lopez, a juncture keeping tabloids busy. On-screen, Affleck’s career shifts with this follow-up to the beloved 2016 actioner. While it has a large set of devotees, the original Accountant didn’t exactly meet expectations, something the sequel seems to have circumvented.

Co-starring Jon Bernthal, The Accountant 2’s first screenings have incited quite a stir among general audiences, especially for a film featuring Affleck as a lead. On Rotten Tomatoes, it sits at a certified “fresh” 86%, with 22 critics having taken a swing at it.

With The Accountant 2 hitting cinemas soon, director Gavin O’Connor has confirmed that The Accountant 3 is already being planned.

It’s been nine years since we last saw Ben Affleck’s criminal accountant Christian Wolff in The Accountant. The film was directed by Gavin O’Connor and written by Bill Dubuque, and despite a lukewarm critical response, the film became a hit with audiences. A year after the film was released, a sequel was announced; imaginatively titled The Accountant 2, it’s is in cinemas this April.

The film just had its world premiere at the South By South West festival, where the word of mouth seems largely positive. While there, director Gavin O’Connor confirmed to Collider that this isn’t the last we’ve seen of Christian Wolff. The Accountant 2 is only the middle part of a planned trilogy, according to the director.

“There’s always been three.

Nearly a decade after its predecessor premiered, The Accountant 2 seems to be adding up for critics as it nears its anticipated debut. The upcoming sequel's initial reviews on Rotten Tomatoes significantly outperform its predecessor.

Per Rotten Tomatoes,The Accountant 2 has an 86% critical rating from 22 reviews at the time of writing, with critics getting to see the film's premiere at South by Southwest (SXSW) this past weekend. The follow-up's critical score dwarfs the original 2016 movie, which is 53%. The sequel's audience score/Popcornmeter won't be released until its theatrical debut, with the original's standing at 77%.

Distributed by Amazon MGM Studios and helmed by franchise director Gavin O'Connor, The Accountant 2 sees its stars, Ben Affleck (Christian Wolff/The Accountant) and Jon Bernthal (Braxton), try to solve a puzzling murder mystery. Wolff, an autistic accountant who launders money for some of the world's most dangerous criminals, is called by U.S.

The Accountant 2 just premiered at the 2025 SXSW Film & TV festival, with Director Gavin O'Connor and stars Ben Affleck, Jon Bernthal, and Daniela Pineda all in attendance. It's taken a long time for the sequel to get made, with the first film being released almost ten years ago in 2016. Now that audiences have finally seen the movie, it's a clear tonal departure with plenty of comedic moments, especially for Affleck, who would jokingly compare his efforts in the film to that of Tom Cruise's stunt work.

Following the premiere of The Accountant 2 at the Paramount Theater in Austin, Texas, some of the cast and crew took to the stage to talk about the movie. One subplot of the sequel involves Christian Wolff's (Affleck) struggle with dating and women. However, one hilarious scene at a country-themed bar has Chris learning how to line-dance to impress a woman interested in him.

The Accountant 2 has finally burst onto the screen at SXSW, bringing back Ben Affleck as the book-cooking forensic accountant Christian Wolff, and the near-decade-long wait for the sequel seems to have been very much worth it, as first reviews have delivered a much more polished set of scores compared to the 2016 original.

Directed by Gavin O’Connor, The Accountant 2 sees Affleck being reunited with The Punisher star Jon Bernthal, who plays Wolff’s estranged brother. This time, the pair have to join forces when they join Agent Medina (Cynthia Addai-Robinson) in attempting to discover who murdered the former Financial Crimes Deputy Director Ray King (J.K. Simmons). Naturally, Wolff’s clientele list ensures that his investigation into King’s death does not go unnoticed by some very dangerous individuals.

Too many times sequels are made for all the wrong reasons, often driven by profit rather than a genuine need to continue a great story. But on Saturday, a sequel premiered at South by Southwest that defied expectations.

The Accountant 2 may not have been high on the list of most anticipated sequels, but it delivers in a way few follow-ups do. Not only is it original and fun, but it also surpasses the original by miles, making it one of the best sequels I’ve seen in a long time.

Ben Affleck returns as Christian Wolff, an accountant and an autistic savant whose skills go far beyond numbers and tax returns. Director Gavin O’Connor revisits the character but this time with a richer world, deeper characters, and a much more compelling storyline.

A nine-year gap between a film and its sequel is rare, but in this case, it proves that sometimes,...

Following his tumultuous divorce from ex-flame Jennifer Lopez, Ben Affleck is back on the big screen in the action thriller film, The Accountant 2. Sequel to the 2016 film, The Accountant 2 has Affleck, Jon Bernthal, Cynthia Addai-Robinson and J.K. Simmons reprise their roles from the first film as Gavin O’Connor returns to the directing chair once again.

Having just had its premiere at the south by Southwest Festival on March 8, the film has been receiving a range of varied reviews from critics, but most would agree that the film is a true piece of art as Affleck and Bernthal dazzle the audience with their unusual bromance.

Ben Affleck and Bff Matt Damon step out on the red carpet for the premiere of their new movie The Accountant 2 held during 2025 SXSW Film Festival on Saturday (March 8) at the Paramount Theatre in Austin, Tex.

The longtime friends are both producers on the upcoming sequel, while Ben also reprises his role as Christian Wolff.

Also in attendance at the world premiere were Ben‘s co-stars Cynthia Addai-Robinson, Daniella Pineda, Allison Robertson, Grant Harvey, Presley Alexander, Vincent Juskalian and Avery Taylor, and director Gavin O’Connor.

While on stage at the event after the screening, Ben talked about his line dancing and jokingly compared it to Tom Cruise doing his own stunts in movies.

“For me, the challenge, of course, was the months and months I spent training to line dance. It was a stunt for me,” he said, via Variety. “Tom Cruise has nothing on me.

The Accountant 2 emerges as a continuation of the tale of Christian Wolff, an autistic forensic accountant whose quiet life conceals a dangerous intensity. After years of silence, Wolff abandons familiar confines in search of connection amid uncertain alliances and covert assignments.

The film opens a new chapter where the cold precision of calculations meets the visceral reality of clandestine operations. Here, a solitary figure is pulled back into a world of hidden threats and unpredictable encounters.

Wolff’s journey reflects a stirring internal conflict: the meticulous order of numbers collides with the unpredictable force of violence and human emotion. The narrative shifts with sudden clarity from moments of secretive tension in high-stakes operations to fleeting scenes of gentle, yet conflicted, humor shared between estranged kin.

This oscillation reveals a portrait of a man burdened by his past and haunted by the call of fate—a man searching for meaning...

Sometimes life hands you a case of the blues that can only be cured by watching Ben Affleck line dance while doing his best to convey autism with his facial expressions. When those days come, “The Accountant 2” is the movie for you.

I’m not sure who was clamoring for a sequel to Gavin O’Connor’s 2016 film, which starred Affleck as Christian Wolff, an accountant on the autism spectrum who un-cooks books for criminal organizations while doubling as an action hero with perfect marksmanship and brutal hand-to-hand combat skills. It’s the rare movie that deserves criticism for not focusing enough on the intricacies of accounting, as the idea of Cartels turning to freelancers to solve their financial problems was a lot more interesting than the knockoff Jason Bourne that Christian was eventually turned into. But it told a complete story (some would say “and then some”), leaving most...

Punisher star Jon Bernthal has explained why he chose to return for the Ben Affleck-led The Accountant 2. The long-gestating Gavin O'Connor-directed sequel will hit theaters this April.

In 2016's The Accountant, Bernthal plays Braxton, the younger brother of Affleck's titular character. The upcoming follow-up film will incorporate Braxton into the plot more than the original, which is one of the main reasons Affleck fought to make it. "The central appeal to me was always to expand on my work with Jon," the former Batman actor told The Hollywood Reporter. Bernthal, who was also present, then gave his own reason for returning, stating, "Ben is a hero of mine and I admire him so much." After Affleck playfully interjected, telling his co-star he "did not have to say that," Bernthal continued, "(Ben) is equal parts a beautiful person as he is a beautiful artist. Making movies for me is...

Nearly a decade after Ben Affleck introduced the world to Christian Wolff in 2016’s “The Accountant,” a sequel is born. Gavin O’Connor’s “The Accountant 2” continues a trend of long-awaited sequels picking at the carcasses of existing properties for any possible franchise potential.

Bill Dubuque’s screenplay is a trope-regurgitating mess — unremarkable, jump-around nonsense — but somehow stumbles into an entertaining brand of B-grade action silliness. The tone evolves from deadly serious to deadly kinda-sorta serious, alleviating a few of the original’s pain points. Don’t expect anything groundbreaking, just an entertaining take on neurodivergent mercenaries and brotherly love.

Affleck reprises his role as autistic badass Christian Wolff, aka “The Accountant,” whose books aren’t exactly clean. Treasury Agent Marybeth Medina (Cynthia Addai-Robinson) reluctantly contacts Christian after someone close to both takes a fatal bullet. They join forces with a shared taste for justice, but deciphering the tangled web of available clues requires help.

In The Accountant, Christian Wolff, the autistic tax professional played by Ben Affleck, lamented not spending more time in his airstream trailer. At the time, Christian housed the sleek vehicle, retrofitted with a glossy wood interior, in a warehouse, which he only occasionally visited to monitor his cash reserve and admire his art collection. The events of The Accountant resulted in Christian getting his wish. After taking down a conniving businessman and reuniting with his brother Braxton (Jon Bernthal), the reclusive Cpa absconds from Illinois and sets out on the open road.

When we reunite with Christian in The Accountant 2, he’s living in Idaho and searching for love. An early sequence establishes the tone of Gavin O’Connor’s highly-anticipated sequel: We see Christian self-consciously trying on different suits for a speed dating event before a blunt cut (editing by Richard Pearson) brings us to a conference room, where...

Ben Affleck punches, kicks and shoots his way out of an array of dangerous situations over the two-hour-plus runtime of The Accountant 2, but at the Saturday night SXSW premiere of the movie Affleck revealed the film’s most difficult stunt: Choreography.

“For me, the challenge, of course, was the months and months I spent training to line dance,” jokes Affleck from the stage of Austin’s Paramount theater. Affleck was referencing a mid-film scene where his accountant/killer Christian Wolff adroitly line dances in a Los Angeles dive bar after picking up the dance moves in second (as established in the first film, Wolff has acute savant syndrome). “Tom Cruise has nothing on me,” Affleck added. “Just in terms of line dancing!”

The Accountant 2 follows Wolff, an autistic accountant and a favorite Cpa of crime bosses, as he is compelled to solve an old acquaintance’s murder, recruiting...

Plot: After his friend is killed while trying to track down a missing woman, Christian Wolff (Ben Affleck) attempts to solve the murder. When the trail leads to the dangerous world of human trafficking, he’s forced to contact his deadly, estranged brother Braxton (Jon Bernthal) for help.

Review: It’s taken nine whole years, but here we are with a long-awaited sequel to The Accountant. For my money, the first film ranks as Ben Affleck’s best-action vehicle. While his superhero roles and other stabs at franchises, such as his turn as Jack Ryan in The Sum of All Fears, never panned out, The Accountant was a different story. The role of Christian Wolff seemed tailor-made for him. In the first movie, Wolff, who worked as a forensic accountant for the mob, was revealed to be something of a do-gooder, using the information he learned from jobs to help...
