Just perfect...
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
Wow.......It is always pleasant to go into a movie with no expectations, and this one delivered in spades.Any story starts with... well a great story, and this is it, although somewhat predictable it's more a comforting predictable, a good guy wins story with enough great twists in it to keep the interest.The cast here lifts the game, who knew Affleck had this in him, and supported by the ever sweet Kendrick (all be it with a kick-ass moment), and throw in favorites like Simmons (Terminator Genisys) and Addai-Robinson (Shooter), all playing their respective parts well.The scene with Affleck's and Kendrick's characters having lunch showed great subtly in writing, directing and acting. A lot of dry and subtle humor throughout.No overdone CGI either, just good clean action, regularly punctuating the plot, with the clean cinematography only adding to clinical nature of our lead character.For the run-of-the-mill action flick, you shouldn't pass this one up.
I really enjoyed this movie from beginning to end. I really not a big fan of Ben Affleck but I must say he was wonderful as Christian Wolff. I also enjoyed Jon Bernthal as Brax.
Just saw it the second time and all I can say is that this movie off the charts. It has a lot of fighting with incredible skills, love and sheer chemistry between the leading character and Anna Kendrick, but also shows what true family means, the loyalty between Ben and his brother is overwhelming. All actors play extremely good and I tried to see one more time some other movies like Jack Reacher (2012) but it bored me to death. On the other hand, watching again this movie really made me see some details that I missed the first time and I got the same feelings I got initially. Highly recommended!
Movie Review: "The Accountant" (2016)Suprisingly visceral Thriller throughout directed by Gavin O'Connor, who puts leading actor Ben Affleck in a perfect role of making a character's seemingly weakness of daily "autism" confrontations into a suit of strength, where roling numbers of accounting backstage business affairs keeping a tight grip with the audience as nemesis character portrayed by match-making Joe Bernthal and female ingredient infusing actress Anna Kendrick ascend this "Warner Bros. Picture" towards dramatic martial action-packed as heavy weaponry utilizing moments, balancing this motion pictures above the originally-received then Hollywood-realized scripts to be a movie of superior entertainment with in even better 120 Minutes editorial pace.FAZIT: Picture approved (interceptive)Cinemajesty Entertainments 2018
