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

This was a fantastic movie, definitely one of the best I've seen this year. Excellent story and plot Ben was great and the twists have caught me by surprise even thought they made absolutely sense. I think that it would make an excellent TV show!

I loved this movie. It has just the enough amount of action for - not the have the whole movie revolve around it, and still enjoy great guns, gunning, and sniper rifles. The movie had no "comic" (AKA Idiotic) character, for which i'm thankful. The characters were believable enough and convinced me they acted in a senseable and logical way. Our lead character is the unlike superhero which we're used to see, and has his personal problems, which really made me like him. The story was nice enough and i really looked forward to see what happens! I liked Ben here, him being serious and kind'a down spirited. I think the since Good Will Hunting, when his buddy Matt won the raffle of playing the suffering genius, he (Ben) wanted to act this part. So they gave it to him + many guns ! Overall - Not the banal action movie but a good and classy one. I recommend. P.S Good for Jonny B, who else but TWD's Shane, for acting yet another douchey bad guy. Spoiler edit: [spoiler] is it just me or that the J K Simmons storyline had hardly anything to do with the main plot?!? OK They had their thing in the 10 years ago past, but since then - only that lame phone call! what gives??[/spoiler]

Finally a role for Anna Kendrick that can show her true potential, I hope she gets more and more roles with a little bit more depth. I feel like she could be a really great actress given the right person to play..

Dumber than a bag of hammers, stupendously contrived and also quite a fun film. I'll never watch it again but one viewing certainly wasn't a waste of time.
