The Accountant's reviews
Media reviews
USA Today
Ben Affleck brings needed nuance to old-fashioned brains and brawn as an action hero with high-functioning autism in 'The Accountant'.
Variety
'The Accountant' is nothing if not a puzzle ? not so much a jigsaw as a three-dimensional brain teaser that gets deeper and stranger with each new revelation.
The Playlist
Seemingly primed to deliver daffy thrills, 'The Accountant' instead goes about its noble-killer business with all the excitement of an IRS audit.
Time
'The Accountant' would be more entertaining if it just acknowledged its own nerdy outlandishness. Still, it?s something to watch Affleck play a man who has trouble expressing his feelings and struggles to read those of others.
New York Post
If you're going to make the first mainstream movie about autism since 'Rain Man', maybe don't feature an anti-hero who's highly adept at shooting people in the head.
Indiewire
While "Jason Bourne meets Temple Grandin" might sound like an interesting idea for a studio write-off, "James Bond meets Michael Clayton meets 'Rain Man' meets all of their friends and enemies" is a dull movie that is too full of distractions to pay out any dividends
New York Times
The movie (...), makes little sense. The screenplay (...) is so determined to hide its cards that when the big reveal finally arrives, it feels as underwhelming as it is preposterous.
