As an autistic person, this movie holds a special place in my heart for accurately portraying the lifestyle of someone like me without actually making fun of us.
I'm glad to read that; i.e. It's not just my opinion they got it right. I only know people with autism from friends' families but I think I get it. Lot's of people had a hard time with this movie because they didn't get how isolated and uncomfortable emotionally the character is with new people. e.g. someone I would hug as a casual friend on meeting for coffee told me ahead, don't do that this time because my daughter is coming. She'll be unsettled for days, seeing you hug me, because she doesn't know you. Albeit if you're someone new around the accountant, the actuarial tables indicate there's a 50/50 chance he's going to kill you; no hard feelings.
I've never been diagnosed, but I recognize a lot of traits in common (difficulty with non-verbal or ambiguous communications, frustration at being interrupted mid-task, some other things portrayed here). The scene on the couch, when she leans in for a kiss and he is completely clueless - that resonated hard. I want a sequel if only so he gets to see her model the Vera Wang dress (which she's kept in mothballs, it's an "investment" after all) and he says "Wow!" and her eyes light up, and they kiss. That needs to happen.
I have high functioning autism but when I was kid I had almost a lot of problems I never got the help I needed I always make mistakes including today and I do try to learn from them but now I’m almost starting a life I have a job, I can drive I do also go to school but it took a lot of time for me to get all the help I need and all the credit goes to my mom she’s always been there for me my father sometimes but usually my mother and thank god for also helping me
Some people will just hate you and pick on you for "no reason", especially your peers. Until they get hit with some of your special abilities, they then suddenly "love" you. Yet it sucks as some parasites just love your "works, notes, ratings, success" throughout school and career". It's the way you look at things, it's the way you seem to get lost, (while secretly diving in deep thoughts, fighting a way past through their illogical theorems, to give them an answer of which they wouldn't grasp tf out a single line of it 😂😂😂. You run an elevated (complicated) equation full of graphs while standing next to them...Nobel prize-worthy and shii, well, they keep interrupting you. Each freaking time. "headshake" 😂😂😂 It's the way you run elevated jokes, while not giving a smile to their primitive 1st grade ones... Sometimes "it" happens...like fireworks. It's like a multi dimensional, multi directional 5Dscreen opening just for you, Yes. It's best to get left alone, as you can "travel" as often, as much as you wish... Yes, school sucks, because of them, retards, you'll never get to engage into elevated duels with your fav teacher and never get to finish the book (any) , at school that is. Still, 😂 you secretly target her, by editing one of these "special edition" essays, lol, and she looks at you the next morning in ❤...owned😂😂😂. Ran over by the autistic bus. Then in the military, they left you alone with tons of archives of confidential material, as they cannot read, let alone memorize all of this. Bad mistake. 3-0 for the Gast. Yes it's a lot of writings, meant to disconnect their brain if they even try to read. 😂😂😂 🐑🐑🐑🐑

This film is an absolute hidden gem. Loved the trailer and the trailer soundtrack, and the movie delivered. Great performances from Affleck and Kendrick. Pacing, dialog, story, humor, all just excellent.
This film is brilliant. I was sceptical at first but it is so well made. One of the only films from recent memory where I didn't actually see the twist at the end.
Surprisingly I found this movie to be pretty good Anna Kendrick and Ben Affleck worked well off each other, thought AK would throw a bit of humour or quirkiness into her role but kept straight to the point GO SEE THE MOVIE !!!
This movie has great lines: “Art doesn’t pay the mortgage.” It does at the end of the movie. “Everything that is important to me is in this trailer.” Including the nerdy girl.
@Butch Dye He was being implored to sell it because Justine had a buyer for it, but he did not want to sell it because it was too important to him. He found something more important to him than the painting, and gave it to her. He made her richer than she, or her father, could have imagined. “Art doesn’t pay the mortgage, young lady.” It does when you suddenly become worth 9 figures!
I'm still waiting for The Accountant 2 I hope they bring back Anna Kendrick. It had his Ying to her Yang thing going on between the two. They had perfect on screen chemistry
"Actuarial sciences are seeing tremendous growth as well." Those are the kind of sentences I say that make me a real hit with the ladies and the life of every party.
Reminds me of the Actuarial joke I heard of. How do you know you're talking with an extroverted actuary? When he's looking at *your* shoes when he talks. Ha. Ha. Ha.
Quite possibly my favorite movie of all time!!! If you've never seen it watch it from the very beginning to the very end...it's freakin' amazing !!! Every few months I watch this movie. It's f'n amazing and a one of a kind !!!
Define normal" "Sooner or later, Different scares the people" Love the movie. The movie is all about educating how autistic child feels, how their parents handle, suspense, story.
Agreed! Great movie. I'm usually unimpressed when I can predict the twists. Through the progression of memories with his father and brother, I knew it was setting something up with the brother because he's never "seen". Really, he is never revealed. When Sean was hired by the Robotics guy, I knew they were brothers. Specifically when they had the brief altercation, after he killed the other Robotics executive. Anyway, that didn't ruin it for me. The way it played out, how they catch up with other. It just gives even more detail into just how good The Accountant is, that his own brother can't even find him.
I was diagnosed with Asbergers at 15, I was very uncomfortable with it, so I never mentioned it. This movie helped bring me out of that shell at almost 29. Ben Affleck was not the best Batman or Daredevil, but he really was my hero after this movie, this gave me my confidence
It took me a moment to realize ... she's in the trailer. (But sorry to add because I also just realized, Justine isn't in the trailer, and we know how important they are to each other. I'll let it pass as a slip.)
One of Ben Affleck’s best performances. He was flawless in this movie. When people say he isn’t a good actor, I make then watch “The Accountant”, “Argo”, “Batman v Superman” (I know it wasn’t a good film but his Batman is one of the best CBM castings of all time), and “The Way Back”. He’s good when he finds and fits a role. Hope to see him more as Christian since the sequel was confirmed.
Indeed. Flawless. One of this best works. Top 5 hands down. I can understand why people say he isn't a good actor because of his style of acting, which is true to a degree but this film really fit him. Every actor has their "niche" of style. Just like robert de niro always plays a wise a** in all his films.
This is actually my fav movie from his list of great ones. I don't understand the hate when he donned the batcape, but he's amazing, and watched most of his films and will watch them again, esp. this one, really great actor!
I've given up on the Oscars. They're nonsense. Also given up on the Olympics. Bribes and cheats everywhere. What on Earth made the IOC think Russia or China could run an honest / non-genocidal Olympics???
He has an amazing portrayal, honestly. His behavior kinda resembles how I was with strangers when I was younger and how I act now when Im feeling nervous or anxious. His struggle to make eye contact and not talking much in conversations unless it’s something he likes or applies to him, is a detail I appreciate. A lot of his behavior and habits resemble how I sometimes was as a child. Though he is an adult and has these habits I fully understand that for some it is difficult to grow out of a lot of these habits. I actually have multiple habits from when I was a kid that I still haven’t grown out of. It’s difficult for many, even fully functioning, autistic individuals to grow out of their tendencies or habits. For me it’s gotten a little bit better but it’s not gone or grown out of in any way, even as a fully functioning autistic individual I still continue to have some struggles. In general autism is a tricky thing to portray in media, aswell as tricky to determine the accuracy of said portrayal. Autism is a wide spectrum and even with some semi exaggerated, it’s hard to say no one has that experience. Yes there are indeed multiple inaccurate and poor portrayals, but again due to it being a spectrum it is a tricky thing to get right. But I can personally say with certainty that this is one of the most accurate portrayals of fully functioning autism I’ve ever seen and an accurate portrayal of autism in general.
Once upon a time, at work, I was digging through a supply cabinet looking for I don't remember what - when I came across a supply of Pocket Protectors - with little cardboard labels that could be slipped into a little slot for you to put your name on. Each one came with ... like a dozen of these little strips of really thin cardboard. So ... amused ... I dug around in my desk and found a bunch of pens, mechanical pencils and markers in different colors and put them in the pocket protector. I then wrote one of the other guys names on one of the pieces of cardboard - and inserted it in the pocket protector's label pouch - then put it on the guys desk when he wasn't there. The first guy thought it was as funny as I did (yes we were ... well I was anyway ... a nerd) - so we then wrote one of the other guys names on one of the little pieces of cardboard and put it on his desk when he wasn't there - and he thought it was funny too. This went on through most of the guys in the office ... who actually, unlike me ... weren't really nerds ... until we got to this one guy ... who ... could be considered ... kind of nerdy ... and ... he ... didn't think it was funny. He was actually kind of pissed off about it. *shrug* So - I then took the four things I usually carried in my pocket, put them in the pocket protector - and I used that thing for years until the flap broke off. I think the real purpose of those things - is to save time putting all these pens and pencils in your pocket every morning as you only have to slip one thing in there. The four things I carried were: A Black Ink, Pentel Rolling Writer Pen - I liked wide letters A Black Felt Tip Paper Mate Pen - for writing on floppy disks (ball point pens could damage the media through the jacket). A .7 mm Pentel Mechanical Pencil - for doing math (so I could erase when I made mistakes). And a Six Inch Piokett Ruler - that had millimeters down one side, inches in tenths down the other and a metric to standard conversion table on the back - but which I mostly used as a straight edge. I also sometimes carried a combination pen that had red, green and blue refils on little sliders inside it so you could press down on the slider for the color you wanted and use that. This was mostly for the red ink but I used the green sometimes too but rarely the blue ... because ... blue doesn't photo copy well. If you need to copy something in blue ink (like a mimeograph) you want to put a clear yellow filter on it. These are most easily found in stationary stores for use as Report Binders. Ah yes ... my misspent youth ... .
Thank you for those details, I would've used one of those. Was in ground support of satellite ops, electronic warfare research, rocket research, and space vehicle launch ops. But no accounting, retired at 57.
@@bseidem5112 Yeah. Knew some guys doing some of those things. I retired about the same time but it was a disability retirement ... not happy ... but better off than my friends who got cancer and died. Getting old sucks. Oh ... one of the things I left out - which wouldn't fit in the pocket protector - was a little 3x5 spiral bound note pad I jotted down ... notes ... in. Names, phone numbers, e-mail addresses, part numbers - anything and everything I needed to remember for future reference. My boss had one too and called it his "Paper Brain" so I picked up the term. I'd fill one of those up and get another. I'd carry the old one around in my brief case but after a while all the info in it was OBE so I'd stop referencing it. My brief case was more of a tool and parts kit for working on and connecting computers. Cable cutter/wire stripper, RJ-45 crimper, RJ-45 and RJ-11 connectors, cable tester, then a collection of gender benders and couplers. It pissed me off to be unable to connect something because the cable we had had the wrong ends on it so I kept a supply of the DB-9 and DB-25 gender benders - but these were consumables. If I needed one - it was a permanent use of the thing so I'd go to Fry's (can't believe it's gone ...) and stock up. Same thing with couplers and cross overs. I had a small saw handle with two blades, one for wood and one for metal. Used that a lot. Various Leastherman type multi tools. I liked the ones with the needle nosed pliers but I actually used the ones with the scissors more. Trouble is - I'd always end up cutting cable with them and that ruined them as scissors .... I had several types of screw drivers, normal Philips and flat blade but then some precision ones and a Panasonic Rechargeable Power Screw driver (with a blade set!!!) I really got a lot of use out of opening computer cases. Zeeet! Zeeet! Zeeet! Zeeet! Zeeet! And yet - I had a P-38 Steel can opener on my key ring that I got in the Marines which I used any number of times as a flat blade screw driver and a souvenir pocket knife with a small blade I used on Phillips heads. I _always_ had those on me so ... they were my fall back tools. I went on travel one time to train people in using a software scenario generator ... and didn't bring my tools ... so here I am laying on my back in the computer lab with my pocket knife unscrewing the cards from the bottom of a rack mounted 4 computer box ... I was so pissed ... Eventually found some guy in the lab with a Phillips head I could borrow ... They'd tested those boxes before they were shipped but then they got a replacement computer on a card or one of it's components that was an improved model and so here we were at the remote site replacing them all ... Ah ... and the nerd deluge just keeps on coming ... At least I didn't get sick that time ... .
Finally you find out towards the end of the movie just where the 'British Voice' comes from and realize that each character is strategically placed to continue into a story line that screams for a sequel...
When looking at the Accountant, Spock would raise his eyebrow in admiration and say that he is the closest a human can come to a Vulcan. The Accountant shows little to no emotion, he is a math and numbers genius, and his concealment operations are logical and precise. Besides that, he is tough as nails like Vulcan males, so the only thing he would need is get a pair of cheap pointed rubber ears and he'd fit right in with the Vulcans! As long as he bleeds green, he is good to go!!!
He'd be curious about the condition too. *Vulcan:* I understand you have a condition. A form of High Functioning Autism that prevents you from socializing from others society deems as the humans say "Normal." *Accounting:* That is true, but I do wish to socialize sometimes. *Vulcan:* Fascinating. You have a Vulcan mind, yet a Romulan's emotional desire.
I'm guessing this was sarcastic - but he's as human as any other autistic person. He's got feelings, he just doesn't show them the way neurotypicals do. If he didn't care (deeply) about people he wouldn't do what he does in the film. Logically, he should have not bothered to help the old couple or Dana. Also, for (some) autistic people lots of emotion results in less of it displayed. You can see he's engaged in various scenes. Like when he comes to save Dana, he looks directly at her, something he generally doesn't ever do - now it could be to check that she is okay but it's also probably because he cares about her. He's not able to show more than what neurotypicals consider robotic or Spock-like displays of expression -- it's not really about control, as it may be for Vulcans. It's more that that lack of obvious emotional expression (usually it's spottable if you look carefully - there are tells) is natural for humans who are autistic.
Don't know how much love was shown to this one at the box office, or by critics. But, I suspect it was underrated. Great action movie in my opinion. Especially the way they portrayed the 'spectrum', and the power of the Barrett M82A1. I watch it at least once a year.
Affleck does a good job portraying someone who is a high functioning autistic. Only a few times he seems to have a slight character lapse. Playing a high functioning autistic requires more subtleties that what you would find in something like Rain Man. The kid who played him as a young boy did a good job and showed the traits of a young high functioning autistic very well. As a kid the traits are more pronounced, but as an adult, those traits tend to recede, and may be harder to notice.
During my forty year "career" in I.T., I worked with several guys (always men, for some reason) who were highly intelligent and who may have been high functioning autistics. I don't think that any of them were carrying guns, though!
5:15 Superman #1 He has 50 comics mint in bags. He pulls out a June 1938 Action Comics, Superman first appearance. This prop is an $80 replica but in the film it's his bank. Value? $4.3 million usd.
One of the few comments, if not only, that I can say I have supreme respect for your intelligence and acknowledgement of these exhibits inlcuding 1874 renoir woman and the value of the Superman comics. Absolute respect. Most, if not all, wouldn't even notice what you have noticed
I have a cousin named fox who’s on the spectrum and the math skills Christian has remind me of how fox would solve my math homework in seconds when it would take me hours.
this is/was a fantastic movie, i have watched it a number of times yet, still go back for a rewatch again and again. He is far from my fav hollywood dude/personality thingy,, but the guy has given us far far, more terrific films, than many other hollywood types.......... of them all however, i remain confident that irl he more than has the ability, the intelligence and bucket loads of character to rise above and beyond the stench of hollywood.... oh and best batman ever
When this movie was written and produced in 2014, women and men actually talk with one another during lunch breaks “one on one” without having a wing person present!😊 The good old days!😊
This was such a shockingly good movie. I expected it to be absolutely awful, and instead it was tightly acted, funny as hell, and had some of the best action sequences in the genre. I think I need to watch it again.
Just these short teasers alone make me want to watch this movie for the third or fourth time. I wasn't a fan at all of Ben Affleck. I found him "wooden" in his roles, but that actually works in his favor for this part. He has a new admirer and I'd love to see a sequel of The Accountant. J,K. Simmons was great too, reflecting on his personal life and his career in a way that made me care.

Ben should have gotten at least an Oscar nod for this performance
I've given up on the Oscars. They're nonsense.
Also given up on the Olympics. Bribes and cheats everywhere. What on Earth made the IOC think Russia or China could run an honest / non-genocidal Olympics???
He has an amazing portrayal, honestly. His behavior kinda resembles how I was with strangers when I was younger and how I act now when Im feeling nervous or anxious. His struggle to make eye contact and not talking much in conversations unless it’s something he likes or applies to him, is a detail I appreciate. A lot of his behavior and habits resemble how I sometimes was as a child. Though he is an adult and has these habits I fully understand that for some it is difficult to grow out of a lot of these habits. I actually have multiple habits from when I was a kid that I still haven’t grown out of. It’s difficult for many, even fully functioning, autistic individuals to grow out of their tendencies or habits. For me it’s gotten a little bit better but it’s not gone or grown out of in any way, even as a fully functioning autistic individual I still continue to have some struggles. In general autism is a tricky thing to portray in media, aswell as tricky to determine the accuracy of said portrayal. Autism is a wide spectrum and even with some semi exaggerated, it’s hard to say no one has that experience. Yes there are indeed multiple inaccurate and poor portrayals, but again due to it being a spectrum it is a tricky thing to get right. But I can personally say with certainty that this is one of the most accurate portrayals of fully functioning autism I’ve ever seen and an accurate portrayal of autism in general.
Once upon a time, at work, I was digging through a supply cabinet looking for I don't remember what - when I came across a supply of Pocket Protectors - with little cardboard labels that could be slipped into a little slot for you to put your name on. Each one came with ... like a dozen of these little strips of really thin cardboard. So ... amused ... I dug around in my desk and found a bunch of pens, mechanical pencils and markers in different colors and put them in the pocket protector. I then wrote one of the other guys names on one of the pieces of cardboard - and inserted it in the pocket protector's label pouch - then put it on the guys desk when he wasn't there.
The first guy thought it was as funny as I did (yes we were ... well I was anyway ... a nerd) - so we then wrote one of the other guys names on one of the little pieces of cardboard and put it on his desk when he wasn't there - and he thought it was funny too.
This went on through most of the guys in the office ... who actually, unlike me ... weren't really nerds ... until we got to this one guy ... who ... could be considered ... kind of nerdy ... and ... he ... didn't think it was funny. He was actually kind of pissed off about it. *shrug*
So - I then took the four things I usually carried in my pocket, put them in the pocket protector - and I used that thing for years until the flap broke off. I think the real purpose of those things - is to save time putting all these pens and pencils in your pocket every morning as you only have to slip one thing in there.
The four things I carried were:
A Black Ink, Pentel Rolling Writer Pen - I liked wide letters
A Black Felt Tip Paper Mate Pen - for writing on floppy disks (ball point pens could damage the media through the jacket).
A .7 mm Pentel Mechanical Pencil - for doing math (so I could erase when I made mistakes).
And a Six Inch Piokett Ruler - that had millimeters down one side, inches in tenths down the other and a metric to standard conversion table on the back - but which I mostly used as a straight edge.
I also sometimes carried a combination pen that had red, green and blue refils on little sliders inside it so you could press down on the slider for the color you wanted and use that. This was mostly for the red ink but I used the green sometimes too but rarely the blue ... because ... blue doesn't photo copy well. If you need to copy something in blue ink (like a mimeograph) you want to put a clear yellow filter on it. These are most easily found in stationary stores for use as Report Binders.
Ah yes ... my misspent youth ...

Thank you for those details, I would've used one of those. Was in ground support of satellite ops, electronic warfare research, rocket research, and space vehicle launch ops. But no accounting, retired at 57.
@@bseidem5112 Yeah. Knew some guys doing some of those things. I retired about the same time but it was a disability retirement ... not happy ... but better off than my friends who got cancer and died. Getting old sucks.
Oh ... one of the things I left out - which wouldn't fit in the pocket protector - was a little 3x5 spiral bound note pad I jotted down ... notes ... in. Names, phone numbers, e-mail addresses, part numbers - anything and everything I needed to remember for future reference.
My boss had one too and called it his "Paper Brain" so I picked up the term. I'd fill one of those up and get another. I'd carry the old one around in my brief case but after a while all the info in it was OBE so I'd stop referencing it.
My brief case was more of a tool and parts kit for working on and connecting computers. Cable cutter/wire stripper, RJ-45 crimper, RJ-45 and RJ-11 connectors, cable tester, then a collection of gender benders and couplers. It pissed me off to be unable to connect something because the cable we had had the wrong ends on it so I kept a supply of the DB-9 and DB-25 gender benders - but these were consumables. If I needed one - it was a permanent use of the thing so I'd go to Fry's (can't believe it's gone ...) and stock up. Same thing with couplers and cross overs.
I had a small saw handle with two blades, one for wood and one for metal. Used that a lot. Various Leastherman type multi tools. I liked the ones with the needle nosed pliers but I actually used the ones with the scissors more. Trouble is - I'd always end up cutting cable with them and that ruined them as scissors .... I had several types of screw drivers, normal Philips and flat blade but then some precision ones and a Panasonic Rechargeable Power Screw driver (with a blade set!!!) I really got a lot of use out of opening computer cases. Zeeet! Zeeet! Zeeet! Zeeet! Zeeet!
And yet - I had a P-38 Steel can opener on my key ring that I got in the Marines which I used any number of times as a flat blade screw driver and a souvenir pocket knife with a small blade I used on Phillips heads. I _always_ had those on me so ... they were my fall back tools. I went on travel one time to train people in using a software scenario generator ... and didn't bring my tools ... so here I am laying on my back in the computer lab with my pocket knife unscrewing the cards from the bottom of a rack mounted 4 computer box ... I was so pissed ... Eventually found some guy in the lab with a Phillips head I could borrow ... They'd tested those boxes before they were shipped but then they got a replacement computer on a card or one of it's components that was an improved model and so here we were at the remote site replacing them all ...
Ah ... and the nerd deluge just keeps on coming ... At least I didn't get sick that time ...

He's just sitting down going "...I guess I won't eat my sandwich."
Definitely need a sequel!
”Sarcasm? Is that sarcasm? " Somehow I remember this line the most... and its so cute :D
"I dont live here this is a storage unit. That would be weird."
"We should go." For Kurt Russell in the movie 'Soldier', it was, "We should go, sir." :) I like how you swing a toilet tank lid, Anna.
First swinger of toilet tank lid as weapon, Rachel Weisz/ Chain Reaction.
Soldier. Another great movie with a righteous ending.
@@bseidem5112 And 'The 13th Warrior'
She's flirting with you bro.
He knows that as well as the fact that you would make this comment.
THERE HAVE BEEN SO MANY TIMES I'VE NEEDED YOUR HELP! GIRLS SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO TELL US!
@@furryurry Keep in mind he might not know, the old guy was teaching him emotions in prison, he had trouble recognizing them!
This is captivating. Ben is a really good actor. Hope he's happy with Jen. He can act circles around her.
Finally you find out towards the end of the movie just where the 'British Voice' comes from and realize that each character is strategically placed to continue into a story line that screams for a sequel...
This is my comfort movie. I don't know why but every time I see this movie it feels like the first time.
When looking at the Accountant, Spock would raise his eyebrow in admiration and say that he is the closest a human can come to a Vulcan. The Accountant shows little to no emotion, he is a math and numbers genius, and his concealment operations are logical and precise. Besides that, he is tough as nails like Vulcan males, so the only thing he would need is get a pair of cheap pointed rubber ears and he'd fit right in with the Vulcans! As long as he bleeds green, he is good to go!!!
‘tough as nails like Vulcan males’ 🤣
He'd be curious about the condition too.
*Vulcan:* I understand you have a condition. A form of High Functioning Autism that prevents you from socializing from others society deems as the humans say "Normal."
*Accounting:* That is true, but I do wish to socialize sometimes.
*Vulcan:* Fascinating. You have a Vulcan mind, yet a Romulan's emotional desire.
I'm guessing this was sarcastic - but he's as human as any other autistic person. He's got feelings, he just doesn't show them the way neurotypicals do. If he didn't care (deeply) about people he wouldn't do what he does in the film. Logically, he should have not bothered to help the old couple or Dana. Also, for (some) autistic people lots of emotion results in less of it displayed. You can see he's engaged in various scenes. Like when he comes to save Dana, he looks directly at her, something he generally doesn't ever do - now it could be to check that she is okay but it's also probably because he cares about her. He's not able to show more than what neurotypicals consider robotic or Spock-like displays of expression -- it's not really about control, as it may be for Vulcans. It's more that that lack of obvious emotional expression (usually it's spottable if you look carefully - there are tells) is natural for humans who are autistic.
They are both ISTJ 5w6
Do you know what Masking is?
What a beautiful film, so much passion coming out of a person that can't express any feelings.
Everything thats in the trailer is important to him which means she is now.
Don't know how much love was shown to this one at the box office, or by critics. But, I suspect it was underrated. Great action movie in my opinion. Especially the way they portrayed the 'spectrum', and the power of the Barrett M82A1. I watch it at least once a year.
This was a good movie, as someone else said they should turn it into a franchise.
Affleck does a good job portraying someone who is a high functioning autistic. Only a few times he seems to have a slight character lapse. Playing a high functioning autistic requires more subtleties that what you would find in something like Rain Man. The kid who played him as a young boy did a good job and showed the traits of a young high functioning autistic very well. As a kid the traits are more pronounced, but as an adult, those traits tend to recede, and may be harder to notice.
During my forty year "career" in I.T., I worked with several guys (always men, for some reason) who were highly intelligent and who may have been high functioning autistics. I don't think that any of them were carrying guns, though!
Sadly, most of us don't have the abilities of this character.
This movie looks good I have to watch it on blu ray 4k, I'm so addicted to movie right now
This was such a great movie.
Your editing left out the best parts of the some of the scenes.
“We should go.” LOL
You edited out some of the best parts.

Superman #1
He has 50 comics mint in bags.
He pulls out a June 1938 Action Comics, Superman first appearance.
This prop is an $80 replica but in the film it's his bank.
Value?
$4.3 million usd.
One of the few comments, if not only, that I can say I have supreme respect for your intelligence and acknowledgement of these exhibits inlcuding 1874 renoir woman and the value of the Superman comics. Absolute respect. Most, if not all, wouldn't even notice what you have noticed
All the Batman training must've paid off
Well, he does beat The Punisher.
I’m a CPA.. and I can agree this is a pretty typical accountant lifestyle
Get a real job
@@bachusffa701 Trouble at home?
Ben afflek and John bernthal are each so good in this and them together is just awwhhh my godddd
Great Movie
really loved this movie... still waiting for the promised sequel !!
This is the best Ben Affleck role by far. He plays this character to perfection and the directing was superlative.
That comic he pulled out of the drawer is EXTREMELY RARE AND EXPENSIVE.
there are only 3 known copies
Not even wrapped in plastic or protected in any way.
Very real fight scene taking on a knife fighter with a belt. Learned this one many years ago. Nice technique
...too bad the editor of these clips removed the 'kill shots', that editing killed this compilation...
So wish we would see a sequel to this movie
0:25 Hahahahaha you can read plainly on his face “please just leave me alone”
i'm not sure about that. Later in the movie he says to her plainly " I find it hard to socialise, even though i want to."
Did anyone else notice at the end that when they were in the trailer Ben packed a Superman #1 in his bag?
yes
@@defencebangladesh4068 Thank you. Stay safe. 🤗😷😁

Underrated and good movie. ... Thanks!
I have a cousin named fox who’s on the spectrum and the math skills Christian has remind me of how fox would solve my math homework in seconds when it would take me hours.
Anna Kendrick should play Batgirl. I really loved the scenes with her character and Ben Affleck.
Loved this movie, waiting for sequel !!!
This was an exceptionally good movie - no wonder they never made a second one.
this is/was a fantastic movie, i have watched it a number of times yet, still go back for a rewatch again and again. He is far from my fav hollywood dude/personality thingy,, but the guy has given us far far, more terrific films, than many other hollywood types.......... of them all however, i remain confident that irl he more than has the ability, the intelligence and bucket loads of character to rise above and beyond the stench of hollywood.... oh and best batman ever
I watch this movie over and over and every time it's always a first time. ❤❤❤
The accountant made that movie.....that guy flat cracks me up!
When this movie was written and produced in 2014, women and men actually talk with one another during lunch breaks “one on one” without having a wing person present!😊 The good old days!😊
I love this movie. Ben Affleck perfect for this movie. Hope there's 2nd or sequel.
Ben is the perfect actor for this movie!
Im an auditor with an ADD.. while others want to be jason bourne or James bond, I just want to be this badass accountant
Love this movie, when's part two coming out.....
Soon it seems. Gavin says the second one is a done deal and they have a third planned out too. 🤩🤩
This was such a shockingly good movie. I expected it to be absolutely awful, and instead it was tightly acted, funny as hell, and had some of the best action sequences in the genre.
I think I need to watch it again.
Loved this movie.
Jason Bourne, John Wick, The Equalizer, The Accountant, The Punisher, The Batman. Did I miss any?
Every once in a while I'll watch the scene where she finds the treasure trove of Comic books, baseball cards, gold, and cash... And dream
That "We should go" always cracks me up...
Jack Reacher, The Account, Robert McCall, John Wick….. that team would be crazy
hutch mansell
And Jason Bourne perhaps
You missed the best scene. When he splashes first bad guy in the farm house with the .50 cal.
"That's a nice one"... She is so cute!!
I just picture her saying "AwwwWwwwW" at the end. Its so cute.
Great movie must watch for action fans
Just these short teasers alone make me want to watch this movie for the third or fourth time. I wasn't a fan at all of Ben Affleck. I found him "wooden" in his roles, but that actually works in his favor for this part. He has a new admirer and I'd love to see a sequel of The Accountant.
J,K. Simmons was great too, reflecting on his personal life and his career in a way that made me care.
Exactly my opinion
This was a great movie.
Great movie! Would love to see more of Bens character 😘
Loved her in Mr. Right too. Seriously underappreciated movies. ❤👍🙏😺
I find this movie very relatable. Too relatable.
Nice shootin', Tex. 😎
Favorite scene in the movie lowkey
I’ve been watching the accountant for 7 months now it changed my life yes I’m an actor
