It's seems this movie has garnered a lot of hate, I can say that as a person who use to hate Ben Affleck with a burning passion (No clue why really) He's been pumping out movies that are making me like him. I'll admit that yes this movie needs to kinda get its timeline straightened out or at least use the 2 hours to maybe explain things better or maybe run 2 hours and 30 mins for some more explanation the ending feels way too rushed. Now as for a shooting movie goes it's not bad I've seen better and I've defiantly seen worse honestly it works out for me I enjoyed it. [spoiler] Brax being the brother I caught pretty fast I think we all did, I also think they should have not made it so obvious until the moment they meet more suspense that way [/spoiler] Some good actors overall with some B-rated actors throw in cause you know budget or whatever.

Over all:

Story: 7/10- Kid with a form of autism becomes the most bad ass accountant and elite assassin! can you get any better than that? Nah, but maybe if you put the time skips in a nicer order, change some of the scenes around and explained some more stuff this would be a better film.

Visuals: 8/10- Who doesn't like the outdoors so outdoorsy that you can shoot off your sniper rifle at a miles distance without anyone complaining so backwoods that shit, [spoiler] you name your company ZZZ and you laundry money through a fucking laundry mat! wtf [/spoiler]

Over all, anyone who doesn't like this film is either not a big fans of guns blazing films or isn't a big fan of the story. Like I've said the story needs work but I still like this movie.. Adding it to my very very very small list of movies that star ben that I like

I am not a fan of Ben Afleck, I think I hated him because he ruined Batman for me. I saw the trailer for this movie and thought it was cool, it has a Jason Borne type feel to it with a bit of story.

An accountant to the war lords, and fighting skills of Jason Borne. I have to say that Ben Afleck played the role perfectly, more like he was perfect at it and I couldn't think anyone could have done it better. A great story packed with action with a few great twists. An action thriller movie which shouldn't be missed and for once I liked Ben Afleck.

Watched it several times already, just love this movie! It's a great movie in many aspects of it. All actors doing a great job, the story is awesome and the action is cool.
Hope they won't ruin it in the second part that is coming out soon.

I cannot say enough good things about this film.

A brilliant combination of action, thriller, drama and moments of humour.

Ben Affleck is very good portraying a complex character with excellent supporting turns by JK Simmons, Cynthia Addai-Robinson and the always spectacular Jeffrey Tambor in a wonderful role. But the real star here is the plot.

No spoilers.

This film is 10 minutes longer than a standard action film and it uses that 10 minutes to give depth and emotion to the characters. It also raises it to a level of deserved excellence.

Ignore the negative reviews here. They must struggle to follow an actual plot rather than superheroes battling aliens for 2 hours with 5 minutes of dialogue...

I've recommended this film to many people and never left anyone disappointed.

I hope they don't make a sequel as I'm sure the magic is not achievable a second time.


10/10

And I absolutely love the Airstream....!

I only heard good things about this movie and I wasn't disappointed. Fast-paced action in between a complex and intelligent storyline. Also brilliant acting by Ben Affleck.

I've been studying accounting for 4 years and NO ONE HAS EVER MENTIONED THIS MOVIE, HOW????
Jokes aside this film is amazing, the acting, story pacing, characters, soundtrack, everything is top-tier. This is easily one of those movies where once you start watching it it's impossible to not finish.
It's crazy that I have to say this but again, they just don't make movies like they used to. I can't believe that out of all the things I've felt watching this movie, it was nostalgia for a just a great all-around movie.
Every scene was there for a reason, I felt that there was zero bloat in the entire 2 hour 7 minute run time, and something that really impressed me was the tone shift by the hour mark. It genuinely felt like I was watching two separate movies that seamlessly transitioned into one another!
I'm very excited for the sequel, I'm interested to see if it can live up to the first one and meaningful extend what already felt like a whole story.

The more times I see it, the more I enjoy it. Such an amazing cast. J.K. Simmons and John Lithgow are both so wonderful. And Jeffrey Tambor is a gem.

this film was genuinely so nice and the ending was really nice - it’s actually pretty good Autistic representation for once
