Remember, it was accountants who got to Al Capone, even if they didn't have Barrett .50 Cal rifles at their disposal. :eek:

I should have mentioned him, and Jeffrey Tambor too.

This might be the best use of music in a trailer I've ever seen!

That's where I heard he's in it too.

Good trailer though. Really nicely put together.

is he going do cheesy one liners when he kills people?

"your numbers up!"

"you're going in the minus column!"

Both Ben Affleck and Jon Bernthal getting good reviews for this

Saw a preview screening of this last night. Biggest compliment that I can pay it is that it reminded me of John Wick.

Thoroughly enjoyable action movie but the plot might be a little far-fetched for some in terms of contrivances.

Outlaw Pete

Hated this. It felt so forced.

Lots of cheap easy ways to get a laugh were used and most of which you could see coming from a mile off. The 'absurd' ways of behaving for example were just clunky rather than genuinely funny.

I know it's a dark comedy of sorts but the lack of plausibility really grated with me. I can suspend disbelief as much as next guy but this is more than just that. You need to buy into the most incredulous and inexplicable bollox whilst also ignoring gaping holes in the plot.

At the screening I was at the crowd loved it though, so maybe it's just me.

Bloody terrible film.

+2 so

John Wick meets The Equalizer a fun action movie and something we more of.

I had fun at this one. Nothing groundbreaking but a enjoyable 2 hours with some nice action. Ben Affleck was excellent. Anna Kendrick (she's really playing the same role in almost every film she's in) JK Simmons and John Lithgow did well with what they were given. You could see that Jon Bernthal was

Ben Affleck's character brother

coming a mile off, but he played his part well. The film lacked a villain for Affleck character to bounce off and the film could have done with some cutting down. But overall a solid flick.

When he was lying on the back of the pick up I thought, ah, it's Batman in a Carhartt jacket.

:P

GrumpyMe

Well made, well edited, looks good, but definitely weak story...

FortuneChip

Really enjoyed that.
Goes exposition heavy in the 3rd act in a way I haven't seen since Lucky Number Slevin, but still thought it was very good.

Jon Bernthal really is becoming a reliable talent. He's got a very relaxed toughness to him.

Enjoyed this its nearly a very good movie but as good an action film as youll see these days.

pumpkin4life

One of the dumbest fùcking movies I've ever seen.

I'd be lying if I said I didn't like it though.

Saw it last night on the Odeon Fiver Wednesday offer. Enjoyed it very much - as others have said contrived story and a 'twist' you could see a mile off, but hugely enjoyable nonetheless. I particularly enjoyed the scenes involving the farming couple.

Almost full cinema.

JohnRock

enjoyed it but the story isn't great

LuckyLloyd

It has some good set pieces and Affleck goes for it in parts, but I hate films that have to explicitly explain their devices to the audience - particularly when the 'mystery' wasn't particularly intriguing to begin with. The Accountant is particularly lazy and messy in that sense, and fails to find much consistentcy or momentum as a consequence.

It's a shame as a classic action movie is screaming to get out of it.

Not bad film still bulked up from the batman film I see,5/10 worth a watch

Ah, I enjoyed it. Love the way he gave the farming couple a wave after he despatched the baddie.

More amazingly my wife loved it.

But, I'm an accountant (got the in jokes) and my wife is a teacher and spends time with children that need extra help.
