Affleck's movie are pretty hit or miss.

Mostly miss.

Thinking of getting something off PPV and have already seen Snowden and most of the others that seem worth a damn.

What about Girl On a Train? Emily's not looking too hot in this one based in the trailers iirc.

The Account is ok. I wouldn't say it's a must see movie but it's not terrible either.

Kinda what I figured and why I haven't seen it yet.

As long as it's not terrible I'm probably in.

It just has a familiar plot to it if you know what I mean.

There was a thread on it a week or so ago and this was the consensus. Worth a watch imo.

Yeah. Not very many original movies anymore.


Thanks Murray, will check it out I guess.

A must see that I watched recently was hacksaw ridge and Sicario. I know Sicario isn't new but damn that's a good movie

It won't generate a 100 page thread, but it was enjoyable enough.

Not a very believable movie, but it will entertain you if you are bored.

It is okay

It has some unintended comedy from the awkwardness of Affleck's character

Kind of interesting take on the whole spy genre. Affleck's character has high functioning Autism which actually makes him damn good at what he does. After watching, I have decided against putting my high functioning son in karate.

I spent $2.99 to rent it and thought it was pretty good. It will probably end up being a movie that is thrown into that FXX rotation in a few months.

It felt like two separate movies put together to make one very mediocre film.

This. The movie can't decide decide if it's spy flick, aspergers underdog story, corporate thriller or family drama.

It is very watchable though.

I'll probably catch it at some point to see what they got wrong about the number crunching biz.

But, yes, it looks like a redbox type film.

The Accountant is really good. Some nice twists. Some you see coming, some you don't. Don't waste your time with Girl on a Train. Watch Gone Girl again if you're in the mood for something like that.

I thought it was a pretty good flick.

it's actually an original concept. I haven't seen anything that with a similar story.
