The ant² Review

‘The ant 2’ Gives New Meaning to the Term ‘Brothers in Arms’. The follow-up to 2016’s quirky, engaging ‘The ant’ ladles on plot and action but loses some of the charm of the original despite its great leads. 2016’s ‘The ant’ was an offbeat thriller about an autistic man named Christian Wolff (Ben Affleck), whose brilliance with numbers has led him to become a forensic ant for criminal organizations looking to find theft in their ranks, while he fronts as a legitimate public ant and acts as an undercover mole for the U.

S. Treasury. Featuring a strong central performance from Affleck, a terrific ing cast, and a quirky blend of action, drama, and humor, ‘The ant’ scored well enough with audiences to put a sequel in motion.
