Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Simply put if you cross The Accountant with Clint Eastwood's The Gauntlet...you essentially have Mile 22. 2 very good movies on their own so what could go wrong?? Whereas in the Accountant, we find our hero is a super savant with a healthy side of Asperger's thrown in for good measure gives a good excuse for limited dialogue. Sometimes limited dialogue is a good thing & in the Accoutant, it works. The strong silent type always worked for Clint in his movies.In MIle 22 Mark Wahlberg's character is not the strong silent type but instead a si[er secret agent with tourettes. The dialogue he is given to work with makes his character not very likeable. And its very awkward dialogue that is too long at times for its own good. If you can overlook the writing & dialogue & just concentrate on the action & just the story...then you are left with a fairly decent flick. 6 out of 10

I had high hopes for this movie, but I was very distracted by the short duration of the clips. Just like in Amadeus, where Mozart's music is criticized for having "too many notes", my criticism of this movie is too many clips. I'd really like to see a count of how many clips there are, but I will not take out the daunting task of doing that myself. This must have been a huge task on the part of the editors. I estimate that the average clip length is something like 1 1/2 seconds, which means there are nearly 4000 clips making up the movie. It's tiring to watch. So, while I was distracted with this, I wasn't really following the incoherent plot, and I found the acting to be pretty poor as well.

Well written story, but for some that I have talked with the say way the storyline was developed made it confusing. One does need to pay attention to many details, this can be difficult in this fast paced film. Some of the action scenes were unrealistic(people with tactical training will understand why) as such optimistic outcomes are far from reality. All in all good acting, and worth the watch.

I really wanted to love this movie because of the actors in it. But it was an exciting, confusing, mess. When you have to look up a plot synopsis AFTER the movie to help figure out what I am not sure I saw, that's a confusing plot. The movie is suspenseful with lots of action, but you're often not sure why things are happening. Also, when you have a martial arts superstar in a fight scene, using closeups and quick cuts dilutes the beauty of his artistry as a fighter. I wouldn't mind seeing a sequel because the premise has potential, but this could have been a much better movie.
