The Accountant was a nice surprise. The answer to the question "what if Batman was an autistic super-accountant/justice assassin?" could have been worrisome, but though the character is a comic book fantasy (and it will all go down better if you look at it in those terms), the take on autism felt well-researched and positive (an early scene gave the young accountant-to-be a knack similar to that of a friend's son, which helped convince me). The third act does head into more formulaic territory, and there's at least one crazy plot coincidence too many, but overall, I enjoyed the excellent cast, the humor, the action, and the puzzle-solving. Is this Affleck's "Bourne franchise"? It could work as long as they walk the tightrope as nimbly in future installments. Or will this go the way of Affleck's Daredevil, another differently-abled action hero The Accountant might remind audiences of in spots? 8 years 3 months ago -

Better than expected offbeat action drama with some nice twists and turns and a good lead by Affleck. Hampered by overlenght. 6 years 1 month ago
