A fan gushed on Rotten Tomatoes, "Without a doubt Ben Affleck's best movie.
Seen this numerous times and enjoy it each time. Stoked to here the sequel is in the works." Another added their two cents, "The Accountant is an insane thriller, which is sadly messy and has plenty of tone issues, but those are probably my only complaints of this.
This is a great story with a great cast and some banging action, and the twists in this were great as well." Despite initially mixed reviews, audience sentiment has overwhelmingly turned positive, as another enthusiast noted: "I'm with the audience on this one, The Accountant is an excellent, fast moving movie. I could perhaps say its Ben Affleck's best performance to date.
Well worth two hours of your time." Fans are also buzzing with anticipation for the upcoming The Accountant 2, already stamped with an R rating in America for its intense violence and explicit language. An excited fan posted on social media, "The accountant is still one of the best movies ever created.
I can only hope accountant 2 is half as good." Echoing the excitement, someone else said, "I didn't know until now there will be Accountant 2, but I will watch it for sure. The 1st was a banger!".
