Jon Bernthal Action Movies Streaming Right Now: Where to Watch Each One
- Three Jon Bernthal action films are streaming now: The Accountant 2 and The Amateur on Prime Video, and Sicario on HBO Max.
- The size of his part varies enormously. He is a co-lead in The Accountant 2 and a supporting player in Sicario — worth knowing before you pick one.
- The ‘80 million viewers’ figure attached to The Accountant 2 everywhere is real, but it describes its June 2025 streaming debut, not anything in 2026.
- On that measure it was Amazon MGM Studios’ second most-watched film of all time, over a 28-day window.
- It also took the top of Nielsen’s movie chart in its debut week with 1.384 billion minutes streamed.
- Sicario holds 91% on Rotten Tomatoes, the highest score of the three, but Bernthal is not the reason to watch it.
- One outlet has re-published essentially the same ‘biggest streaming hit’ story about him in July, August and September 2026.
Three Jon Bernthal action films are streaming right now. He carries one of them, appears in another, and the viewing figure attached to all the headlines is a year old.
Here is each one, where it is, and how much Bernthal you actually get.
The three, at a glance
| Film | Where | His role | Best number attached to it |
|---|---|---|---|
| The Accountant 2 | Prime Video | Co-lead — Braxton, opposite Ben Affleck | Nearly 80M viewers (2025) |
| The Amateur | Prime Video | Supporting | Reported renewed streaming interest |
| Sicario | HBO Max | Supporting — Ted | 91% on Rotten Tomatoes |
That middle column is the one to read first. All three get filed under “Jon Bernthal action movie” by the sites listing them. Only one of them is a Bernthal vehicle.
The Accountant 2, on Prime Video
This is the one to watch if you want Bernthal doing what he is best known for.
He plays Braxton opposite Ben Affleck, and the two of them share the film rather than one carrying it. It opened in cinemas in April 2025 and landed on Prime Video on 5 June 2025.
What it did there is genuinely impressive — and genuinely historical:
- Nearly 80 million viewers worldwide on Prime Video, measured over 28 days.
- That made it Amazon MGM Studios’ second most-watched film of all time.
- It topped Nielsen’s movie chart in its debut week with 1.384 billion minutes streamed.
- It knocked Jason Statham’s A Working Man off the top of Prime Video’s global chart.
The Amateur
Also on Prime Video, also with Bernthal in support rather than in front.
This one has the thinnest sourcing of the three. What is reported is that it has picked up renewed streaming attention well after its original release — a familiar pattern for a mid-budget thriller with recognisable names in it. There is no platform chart figure here that could be checked, so none is quoted.
Sicario, on HBO Max
The best film of the three, and the one where you will see him least.
Sicario holds 91% on Rotten Tomatoes — comfortably the strongest critical standing on this list. Bernthal appears in a supporting role as Ted, and if you come to it expecting a Bernthal action vehicle you will be disappointed in a film that is very good at being something else.
It is reported as sitting around sixth in popularity on its platform. That figure comes from coverage rather than from a platform chart read directly, so treat it as approximate.
What the viewing numbers actually say
This is the part worth slowing down for, because the internet is currently confusing itself about it.
The 80-million figure is real. It is also from the middle of 2025, describing the 28 days after The Accountant 2 arrived on Prime Video.
It is not a statement about September 2026. But if you search for Bernthal streaming news right now, you will find that number presented as current, repeatedly.
Where those stories come from: one publisher has run essentially the same article in July, August and September 2026 — same subject, same achievement, near-identical headline construction, each time framed as news. Counted properly, by who owns the outlet, that is one source repeated three times, not three confirmations. Two of those pieces even describe the same film with two different shorthand comparisons.
None of that makes the film less watched. It makes the recency claim wrong, and the distinction matters if you are trying to work out what is actually popular this week rather than what was popular last year.
What’s next for him
Beyond these three, Bernthal turns up in Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey — we have gone through its cast, plot and ending separately — and in the Netflix thriller His & Hers.
The bottom line
Want Bernthal front and centre? The Accountant 2, on Prime Video.
Want the best film? Sicario, on HBO Max — but he is a supporting player in it.
And when you see “80 million viewers” attached to his name in a headline this week, that number was earned in June 2025.
