I loved the Town, and Argo was good also. Fucking John Goodman was great in that, as always.

Jus228Just got back from seeing this finally. Loved it. Great movie. Better than I expected and I had somewhat high expectations. One of his best movies IMO.

Lt CHEGJust saw it with my wife last night. Our theater was also packed. I loved it and will definitely buy it on blu ray when able. It really did have a little bit of everything - action, comedy, drama. I thought it was extremely well done and hope they produce more Accountant movies.
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” March 14, 2017, 09:21 AM
Brett BI know this is an old thread but if you haven't seen this yet it's worth a watch, we saw it this weekend on Amazon and really liked it. The wife and I both joked that it seems the best way to make Ben Affleck a good actor is for him to portray a high-functioning Autistic guy.
Good back story and it was certainly fun every time he brought out the big 50 cal.

I liked the movie. I didn't think he was great as a savant, at least when he was rattled, but otherwise the gun play and action was good.

Sig MarineAfter reading the thread about the "Accountant vs John Wick", the wife and I were intrigued enough to find the movie and watch it this afternoon. I must say, I'm disappointed in myself for letting this one slip by when it came out. We both thought it was an outstanding movie and look forward to seeing the next installment (if there is one).

I like the tie-in. It made sense to me. What I like about it is that it never got to be a question about who was helping him until near the end so it was like a cherry on top.
"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.
