I mean, it was entertaining at times, and Ben Affleck is pretty badass, but the movie's plot was so **** confusing and the ending was just ridiculous .

The story is poorly told and the twist at the end is ridiculous. I would much prefer to have my time back, as well as the $5 rental fee. Even if you are a fan of Ben Affleck or a fan of thrillers, give this a pass.

never adds up. I sat scratching my head thinking.... 'huh'... 'what did i miss?' and so on. If you don't care about plots and storylines.. then sure, go see it. There's action and violence to distract you when you're not sitting in the theatre texting on your iphone. If you want a movie to entertain and engage you -- THIS IS NOT IT.… Expand

This movie is scatter-brained, full of tropes/cliche' , poor pacing, over-acting, bland action scenes, and has a cast of characters that any reasonable person shouldn't take seriously or feel like they could invest any of their time in. It amazes me at how many people are giving this film positive reviews. Absolutely awful... On the plus side, this is a movie that is so bad it could have you laughing AT it for the full showing, for just that reason.… Expand

The movie has a great start with a bit of drama as well. However, as movie focus has been action it has not fully captured that ability. Mix of genres makes the movie boring. When it comes to Ben Affleck, he is not fit for this role.

Cliched characters, cliched stunts, cliched storytelling... But somehow smart and well acted (especially thanks to Ben Affleck), The accountant is just another fatally flawed entertainment that won't easily satisfy the audience.

C'est un petit génie des mathématiques (?) mais qui a fini expert-comptable (?)... ne devrait-il pas finir plutôt à la Nasa ou au Pentagone ou bosser pour Jack Ryan afin de contribuer à sauver le monde libre ?... en tant que super-agentC'est un petit génie des mathématiques (?) mais qui a fini expert-comptable (?)... ne devrait-il pas finir plutôt à la Nasa ou au Pentagone ou bosser pour Jack Ryan afin de contribuer à sauver le monde libre ?... en tant que super-agent euh... du Renseignement et...

Attendez, Wolffie est aussi une burne euh... je veux dire une bournerie, un super-agent qui sait tout faire, mieux que ce ringard de James Bond et tout ça ! et tout ça, c'est parce qu'il était autiste quand il était petit. Alors, adulte, il l'est un peu moins mais il le reste quand même : c'est un grand timide à timidité variable mais surtout un putain de génie de sa mère qui sait tout faire, on te dit !

En, tout cas, Ben Affleck l'affligeant ou pas (ils auraient pu y caser Matt Damon le consternant, peu importe) cette grosse merdasse est en effet aussi stupide qu'elle en a bien l'air, aussi grotesque qu'elle l'est -vraiment- mais également aussi lente et mal faite qu'il est possible de (mal) faire, à son insu ou pas.

C'est-à-dire donc qu'en dehors de la stupidité, ça n'avance pas et que la moindre scène d'action est filmée n'importe comment et ne ressemble qu'à un gros tas de merde. Comme tout le reste du film, de toute façon.… Expand

Ben Affleck is fine. But Anna Kendrick can't act at all, which makes watching this movie very difficult. She's just so poorly suited for a lead role. All she can do is support.

Despite developing characters powerfully, "The Accountant" has too many subplots that lead nowhere, a boring tone, and a story that feels poorly written.
