I don't understand how so many people could say that this was not only a good movie, but an action packed thriller.
"The Accountant" is so bad on so many levels, it's difficult to understand what it is.
The story involves a leader (JK Simmons) of the Treasury Department is about to retire, he wants to find the person responsible for killing 9 members of a mafia crime family, from 20 years earlier.
The background to this story, and the reasons why he wants to find the killer, is explained during a scene that is approx. 12 minutes long and occurs 3/4 of the way thru the film. To me, anytime that long of a scene is used to explain the first hour of what you've already scene, is a clear indication that the writers are lazy in their writing.
Next, the climax of the film is so damn ridiculous, and stupid, you will want to put a bullet thru your television. It involves two brothers who haven't seen each other for 10 years.
JK Simmons and Anna Kendrick are wasted. The most moving part of Ben Affleck's performance is his hairpiece.
Save yourself the time and the money, and avoid this movie.
4 out of 10
