The Accountant


I went into this expecting to hate it - nothing like a good old "mediocre mid-budget movie" for a hate watch - but you know what? It was fine. Not good. Not original, not memorable in any way whatsoever. But fine. It's Ben Affleck doing a simultaneous take on Will Hunting and Jason Bourne, which, come on man, back off Matt Damon's nuts already. Affleck's both a number savant and a well-oiled shootin' fightin' killin' machine. Okay, great, fine, yes - but why? There's nothing funny here, nothing that'll put you on the edge of your seat. It's just Affleck doing Rain Man with none of the charm but a much bigger mean streak. And again, it's not bad. It's nothing, really. It barely even "is" at all.
