BEN AFFLECK'S LESS THAN AVERAGE THE ACCOUNTANT REVIEW!!


So I'm checking out Ben Affleck's new film the accountant starring some extraordinary individual actors such as J.K Simmons, Anna Kendrick and one of my favourites Jon Bernthal who only plays a small role but for me is a breathe of fresh air surrounded bye sh**.

 The story follows Christian Wolff (Ben Affleck) who is a mathematics savant with more affinity for numbers than people due to a little problem he has. Using a small-town CPA office as a cover, he makes his living as a freelance accountant for dangerous criminal organizations. With a Treasury agent (J.K. Simmons) hot on his heels, Christian takes on a state-of-the-art robotics company as a legitimate client. As Wolff gets closer to the truth about a discrepancy that involves millions of dollars, assassin Jon Bernthal is not far behind racking up the body.

 Firstly the story which is suppose to be a thriller is full of inconsistencies, it fails completely to unite their plot strands into anything resembling any actual thrills. So go figure.

 Ben Affleck plays an autistic character with a supernatural talent for preparing accurate tax returns, but also shooting guns — especially the gigantic sniper rifle he keeps in his modest rural home. All ready sounds idiotic right well let's go on...

NOTHING REALLY MAKES SENSE: For example Character motivations are glossed over, explanatory scenes are jammed in inconsistently, and the finale relies on a tonally bizarre combination of anticlimax, coincidence and violence that seems to betray the arc of the whole God damn movie, I mean it just makes me mad, don't make a film if your going to put in half baked performances JEEZ.

 I know you have probably had enough already, because I have but one last thing Mr Affleck in the nicest way possible please stick to batman because you can't do anything else, I hope I have helped you as well as preventing you from going through the torture that I have had to endure. For those who are brave or darn right stupid you have been warned. Imdb I don't know where you get your ratings from its not a 7.6 I give it a 5.4 #CAF #MsaNewsandViews

Paul Thomas Anderson Week: 'There Will Be Blood' Review!

• There Will Be Blood, 2007 • 8.2/10 • Firstly, I would like to start with Daniel Day Lewis' mesmerizing performance as the ruthless oil prospector, Daniel Plainview. The scumbag cons local landowners into selling their valuable land for pittance, and then he comes along like a "straw" and "sucks it all up," leaving him very wealthy and everyone else in his way. Paul Dano, Wow, do you really expect anything less than magic when it comes to him acting, he's a true tour de force. I wish we had preachers like Eli Sunday up at my local church. Johnny Greenwood's score is brilliant, it really gets under your skin, you then combine that with the gorgeous cinematography, smart screenplay and the brilliant acting, you then have yourself a film where even if your not paying complete attention, you will still hate the lead by the end, all the same! Yeah, I did just say that. I'm sorry peeps but it got a little boring at times (it didn't keep me hook

'Tomb Raider' Review: First Successful Game Adaptation! Kudos!

Image
• Tomb Raider, 2018 • 7.9/10 • Alicia Vikander gives Lara depth and personality much like Harrison Ford's Indiana Jones. She's vulnerable, but she's also stubborn and focused to survive on her own and has never lost hope that she'll once again see her father. The story is built on the reboot of the video game series, but takes another way after the arrival at the destination where most of the action takes place. When the story follows the video game it has weaknesses (as so many games adaptations do), but when it stands on its own, it shows glimpses of coming adventures for Lara Croft that makes you want more -- much because of Vikanders grounded performance. The script is by no means perfect, the CGI was a bit spotty in places, and yes there are a few cliches and overused story devices here and there, but overall it is an enjoyable film and our first successful game adaptation! Yesss! P.S - Dominc West was the perfect choice for Mr. Croft!

'Love, Simon' Review: What A Nice Surprise!

• Love, Simon • Spoiler-Free • 8.7/10 • Well, what a surprise.... Don't get me wrong, the story of 'Love, Simon' has pretty much all been done before, just not executed as well. Bar the classic stereotypes and some cheesy moments, this film had me laughing out loud and crying even louder! Tbh when you watch a film like this, you normally expect it to try to be, too clever, too cute and too precious, but boy I have never been so far off the mark. The intelligence, depth, and charm were all legitimate and sincere here and it truly made the film into something rather special. It's funny, sweet, caring, true, real, and should pretty much be labelled a "True Story" for all its worth. The acting on all accounts was second-to-none but Josh Duhamel had the biggest tear-jerking scene going! I was sobbing like a real man! And Nick Robinson was believable and nothing short of phenomenal! Kudos! If you can get past the cheese-factor, you will definetly Love,
