Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

All aspects in this look perfect to me. Seeing the big guy like Ben Affleck doing Iko Uwais stuff is amazing. The only problem is this movie was not made in Indonesia. If it is Indonesian, I will definitely give 10 for the score.

Great plot, script, good to superb acting by all, smart little details (maybe not obvious to the average viewer, esp. ones related to ocd and autism), well executed action scenes, ... and memorable lines (little humour) like ".. Tell Eliot Ness to get his feet of the furniture." "..This is a storage unit, that would be weird."What really stays with me is the scene in which Raymond King pleads for his life "... Yeah I've been a good dad. I'm a lousy agent and I've been a weak man. But that I didn't screw up. That I got right."Excellent, go watch it.

I absolutely love this movie. It's not just a great movie overall, but it brings out a lot of emotions that I can relate to as a person with Aspergers. Ben Affleck did a great job at showing the world what life can be like for a person with this disorder. And much like Christian in this movie, I was able to use my disorder to my own advantage. It's what helped me succeed in my career today. And it's what makes me who I am. I consider myself very successful in my career and life. And I owe a lot of it to having Aspergers. Of course it has it's cons, as you saw in the movie. But it brings a whole new mindset and point of view to the world. For those of you with this disorder or ones like it, I suggest you try to figure out how to use your condition to succeed in your life. Like me, you may find that you're exceptionally good at something because of your condition. And if you enjoy it, do it your way and try your hardest. Use movies like this as inspiration. Just don't ever think you can't do something because you're not like everyone else. That was my hardest lesson. The day I accepted myself who I am and stopped trying to be "normal" was also the day my whole life changed for the best. And make sure your spouse respects you. In hard times, they are likely to be the best person to talk to when you're struggling with your condition. I've had relationships where the other person put me down or criticized me for being "weird". That's just unacceptable. You deserve better! Today I'm a happily married man with a thriving career, my own house, car and supportive group of friends and family. It took a LOT of hard work to become who I am today. It's worth it! Don't give up! And you may want to let your close friends and family about your condition. For me, it helps them understand why I may say or do things that sometimes come off as weird, rude, etc. I hope this helps someone! For those of you "normal" people, keep on supporting those with disorders. When you see them in a struggle, try to help. Highlight the good things about them. It may help more than you'll ever know!

'The Accountant' may have a great acting ensemble and entertaining action sequences, but the messy and disjointed plot confines this movie to being just good. The definite highlight of this film is the acting, which is superbly done by every leading cast member. Ben Affleck portrays his complex character well and is supported by stand out performances from J.K. Simmons and Anna Kendrick. The action sequences, as infrequent as they are, are well choreographed and entertaining to watch but ultimately stand out from the rest of the film. The themes of finance, autism, crime and borderline-romance do not mix well in this film, and these one-too-many tropes cause it to be quite disjointed. The results in the film being rather difficult to enjoy, as you're never quite sure what genre you're really watching. This film would be far more interesting to watch, had I been the type of individual to be intrigued by accounting and financial crime-solving. However, this was all saved from being a bore of a movie by the great acting and engaging action scenes.
