Damn. I may have to go see it after all. "It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts." Sherlock Holmes | |||

Saw it tonight, was good. Definitely a "see it on the big-screen" action movie. Not a fan of Ben's politics either, but he is pretty good at his job. When I pay a monkey to dance, I want him to be a good dancer and really don't care who he votes for. What part of "...Shall not be infringed" don't you understand???  | |||

Just got back from the theater. Solid movie with some twists and yes, a few laughs. Plenty of good gunfighting without drowning out the plot. _________________________________________ Dei. Familia. Patria. Victoria. Don't back up, don't back down. | |||

Yes it was an entertaining movie, liked it. I kinda wish Anna Kendrick's part was a bit beefier but still no complaints. | |||

I just saw it, and thought it was very good. They did a very good job at showing parts of the past that led up to the current as flashbacks. A very good job at combining accounting story and action aspects of it. The ending was sort of weird, sat there for a minute thinking "The movie is over???". It definately set itself up for a sequel. | |||

I saw it. Loved it. This is a movie I would buy when it comes out on video. Only minor issue I had was one flashback scene that kind of confused me on the timeline of events. Didn't keep me from enjoying the movie, though. I've said before that John Wick was probably my favorite non-superhero action movie to come out in the last few years, but The Accountant could give it a run for its money. I especially liked the mystery aspect of the story. I hope it becomes a series of movies. "It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data.

My guess is they're already filming #2......by the ending that wasn't really an end. | |||

Just saw it. Excellent movie, very entertaining, and tightly written. "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946. | |||

Agree, this is the best movie of the year so far. ______________________________________________________ Often times a very small man can cast a very large shadow | |||

I agree with the last few comments. I really enjoyed it and so did my wife who is not a huge action fan. I might have to say, most enjoyable I have seen in a while. | |||

I posted over in the Jack Reacher 2 thread that I saw The Accountant yesterday. Excellent movie and I will buy the DVD when it comes out. | |||

NOT A FAN OF BEN... That said. I didn't know anything about the movie. Which was probably a good thing. I went as a tag a long with my daughter and her husband. I got a Big bucket of popcorn and was ready to be unimpressed... I was not expecting much I mean it's Ben Afleck... Holy crap it was great movie. We all agreed it was a solid "9" on a 10 scale. Good plot. The Action was believable overall. Perhaps Aflecks best movie IMHO ever. Skip Jack Reacher and see the "Accountant" IT's set up for a 2nd movie... but no final trailer after credits... | |||

I just saw it and also really liked it. The disappointment to me was J.K. Simmons' character doing an hour's worth of character development by telling a story for five minutes. I lament every damn movie being over two hours long anymore, but I felt like there was so much room to explore the characters and develop them organically and this was a cop out. This story could have been a multi season television series. I'm somewhat hopeful for a franchise. | |||

While not the greatest actor he has directed 3 incredibly good films and has a 4th coming out soon. Of his directed films I enjoyed his first, Gone Baby Gone, the best. That movie is like a love letter to South Boston....if South Boston was your abusive significant other that you still couldn't shake lose from. _______________________________________________ Use thumb-size bullets to create fist-size holes. | |||
