**Surprisingly decent**
IMHO Ben Affleck has the ability to stink up the screen and has done so on a number of occasions, thankfully this was not one of them. The premise was good, the characters interesting and the action worked within the story. None of it felt forced which was a nice surprise. Worth a one time watch. ;)

**He's not the same man inside out!**
The film was powerful, one of the best of the year I have seen. From the director of 'Warrior'. The story of a freelance accountant who was hired by a company to find the financial frauds. But when he's on the verge to uncover the names, the company rolls back over one of its member's death in the following day. It does not stop there, the life threat tails him and all who were involved with him. Now the film reveals his real identity going back to disclose his childhood days, like how he grew up. In the meantime, he has to find those people who are after him before they do and so with a twist the film comes to an end.
Coming from a DC film, now Ben Affleck proved he can be like any other top actors from the industry. His physique was great for the role he played. Thanks to Batman role. This is like his version of 'John Wick' or 'Jack Reacher'. Definitely we can expect a sequel here. Anna Kedrick was great in the recent time with all her films, particularly the box office wise. In this she did not get bigger role, but one of the main and in the follow-up, she might get more opportunity. The film was almost perfect for a crime-thriller. Especially the characters make the finest film of its kind. An outstanding film, so recommended for those who seek entertainment fullest.
_9/10_
**Overall : A fresh action standout with unique characters and excellent fight sequences. The Accountant's numbers just add up!**
The Accountant was an unexpected action thriller with unique character choices. Ben Affleck's Chris Wolff is a highly capable and efficient hitman with high functioning autism that leads a double life as a forensic accountant-not a typical main character in an action movie and is handled brilliantly well. However, the true highlight of this movie is the writing making each moment and character feel fresh and memorable. Fantastic action sequences and an outstanding cast, along with the exceptional writing, elevates The Accountant well above average action flicks to a special must-see action standout.
**Without being brilliant, this is an honest film, which gives us what it promises and which harmoniously combines dramatic tension, touches of romance and quality action.**
Overall, I was quite satisfied with this film: it's not a really original thriller, but it has an interesting enough story to catch our attention and make us watch everything without feeling like we're wasting our time. It all revolves around an autistic accountant with a very interesting client list, which includes all types of mobsters and criminals. Of course, he attracts the attention of the authorities and, as the cops get closer to their target, things start to heat up and the action starts to get more interesting.
Directed by Gavin O’Connor, the film unfolds without dead moments and without the romantic sub-plot seeming to be too much or simply taking up space. The pace is not too fast, but we also don't feel bored at any point. On a more technical level, there is truly nothing that stands out or exceeds the average, apart from the action scenes, which are well-thought-out and done with care. As a piece of entertainment, this is a film that gives us what it promises and is honest in the promises made, without ever proving brilliant or unforgettable.
Affleck is a solid protagonist and offers us a confident and confident interpretation of a character that, in the hands of a less experienced actor, could even seem somewhat offensive to someone who is truly autistic. I didn't feel that, nor did it seem to me that the actor was overacting. The film also features good performances by Anna Kendrick and John Lithgow.
