The Accountant (2016) MOVIE REACTION- FIRST TIME WATCHING

[@DanielLopez-cy2tq]

This movie was so good. They need to make a sequel to it

[@deving9793]

They really do forreal

[@DreadPirateB]

100%

[@judaychop]

They green lit one a long time ago but nothings happened, its been stagnant in imdb ever since, not long after this movie i think he started having problems with alcohol and went to rehab or something, not sure if it had something to do with it.

[@drhorribly]

YES! THANK YOU!

[@doubleT84]

Some good movies need to be left alone. A lot of sequels fuck things up!

[@fenharel9713]

I like that movie. As an autistic person myself, I liked the portrayal of Ben Affleck's autistic character. You know I had to go through desensitization myself similar to what Ben Afleck's character went through with the flashing lights and music. When I was more severe, I couldn't go to stores, birthday parties or huge gatherings without screaming at some point because of the volume of the noise and other sensory stuff. Hell I could not listen to music in the car without screaming so my mom would instead of turning the music off when I screamed she left it on. I screamed and I screamed but mom did not fold knowing that by me being desensatized that I will be able to have better sensory tolerance. Now fast forward to now, I love heavy metal so I can safely say that it worked for me at least. However, I wouldn't say that I don't have sensory issues but there are not as debilitating as they once were. One more thing I want to say is that people say that autistic people are not empathetic or they are cold. I would say that not is half accurate but I will say that autistic people are people of extremes we can be really emotional and then be extremely logical. And this can be fluid depending on the situation. Anyways I have rambled long enough and I thank those who have been reading this. Hope y'all find this enlightening!

[@drhorribly]

thank you

[@Alvan81]

Interesting post. Thanks

[@maingate7672]

My heart goes out to you. My niece is autistic, she's absolutely adorable.

[@ethanpage175]

As someone with autism, I can fully sympathize as I had similar experiences as a child. For example, I couldn’t attend school assemblies without noise canceling headphones. Your statements regarding those with autism I would are spot on my friend.

[@yaimavol]

Blessings on you. You keep going and you stay with us. You are holding a higher virbration

[@batbrick3949]

12:40 Notice how in this scene Christian’s speech patterns become more “normal” and he is much more emotionally engaged in the conversation, because he’s talking about something that truly interests him. As someone on the autistic spectrum, I very much appreciate this nuanced depiction of the character.

[@AlbertRod34]

This movie is so underrated and not talked about. It's a Great movie. Loved this reaction to one of my favorite movies.

[@deathgrinderb3284]

its one of my all time favorite action movies. i think this and taken 1 were the best movies since 2000.

[@GangstaStan010]

Hell yeah. Ben came with the true acting talent. I honestly think he was a tad bitter about how much people talked about Batman. But not films he was passionate about. This and Live By Night.

[@yaimavol]

I keep saying Sequel. This character is brilliant

[@deving9793]

*I am in process of buying a new mic so please excuse the audio everyone. Nonetheless I hope you all enjoy our reaction*

[@nkxseal8398]

Yeti is a great mic that isn't too expensive if that matters to you, cheers G

[@Ariakas22]

Yeah I rock a yeti mic when gaming, def a good one for the price 100-150 range.

[@dyingbreed1282]

Your good bro! I’m here for it!

[@REALAMERICANMAN531]

You aiight bruh

[@yourboiquanis9686]

You got a patron Devin?

[@carlossaraiva8213]

Can we all agree on how good Ben Affleck is in this movie. He is such a underrated actor.

[@ImpeccableZentertainment]

its criminal that this movie is unknown to so many people its so damn good

[@prollins6443]

Anna Kendrick plays a swispy little gal so well. I usually don't find her characters interesting, but this movie is amazing

[@DrainedOatmeal]

The scene where the mom left hit hard for me, having gone through a very similar scenario with my "wife". Here I am 3 years later with my son who has aspergers. I couldn't imagine leaving him knowing how much he needs and depends on me. Dont get me wrong it gets very tough on times, but thats life. We play the hand we are dealt. You make the best of what you got. That aside, great reaction, Devin & co.

[@yaimavol]

Can't imagine the feeling of betrayal when she left. Blessings on you for strength.

[@ibrahimkayikci2146]

You're a hell of a good father. Keep it up!

[@neilsingh5923]

God bless!!🙏🙏

[@Hkfanboy]

as a guy on the spectrum this is one of the best portrayals of autism I say things that I don’t realize are upsetting or I just don’t care if people get upset I always just thought it was everyone else that had a problem until my ncoic told me to go to a off base doc and talk about it

[@drhorribly]

that's a very interesting perspective, thank you

[@Hkfanboy]

@@drhorribly I really don’t want to be mean I just don’t realize that I can be blunt/insensitive I do care about people I just don’t know how to be normal

[@drhorribly]

@@Hkfanboy I'm sure you do your best and that's all anyone can ask for

[@gertrudelaronge6864]

I totally relate. (I'm autistic) I'm often overly honest. I'm really not trying to be rude or hurt anyone's feelings. I'm just making an observation based on objective reality. And that offends some people.

[@TrillaDilla410]

That Pollack painting in 2006 sold at auction for 150 million dollars. I believe it was painted in 1946.

[@bjjj7396]

😯😯💯💸💸

[@Matej_Sojka]

The scene where Jon Bernthal´s character says to Ben Affleck´s "Say when and were, I´ll be there." "I´ll find you." is where this movie went from good to great for me. Despite all that happened they were still brothers and cared about each other.

[@Divamarja_CA]

Jon Bernthal is really good here, as usual.

[@williamsummerson1204]

Great reaction guys. This is a very underrated movie but I love it, one of Ben Affleck's best performances in my humble opinion.

[@ReeVamped215]

I swear Devin always picks hidden gems in the film industry. This one is severely underrated!!! 🔥

[@2tone753]

A first-class film with first-class actors and I'm actually glad that it didn't become a film for the masses. This film addresses some things that many people tend to push to the sidelines.

[@neilsingh5923]

The movies that are not for the masses are the ones that interest me the most.👌

[@GlennShook]

Love this movie! The flashbacks are so good. Tough love from the father but love. Family first. Taking them to stand up to the bullies scene was just so perfect.

[@bekind3931]

The main guy had his male partner killed so he could frame him. Remember, he told Christian he knew his partner would not make a mistake w/his meds, alluding that he must have killed himself out of guilt from stealing. He needed Christian to stop looking thru the books, so his excuse was feeling sad over his partner’s death and forgiving whatever he did. Then, when he saw Christian would not stop, he wanted everyone who knew of the discrepancy to be killed before he was found out. That incl the woman partner, Dana and Christian. Excellent film! You guys make a super-adorable couple too.

[@BigBoss-zi5ss]

The wave he gives after killing the guy to the couple is gold

[@carlossaraiva8213]

It was a great ROFL moment for me.

[@chefskiss6179]

I always love it when you both get together for a viewing, and what a gem you picked. Thanks for that. Btw, the average Pollock painting goes for 50 million. Sometimes lower, sometimes way higher, but generally around 50-60 million (U$).

[@dunbardunelm3924]

🤪🤪🤪🤔🙈

[@miketrevarrow9795]

Some people have more money than sense, a three year old could do better, modern art ? does nothing for me. 👎🤣🤣🤣

[@popculturista]

I saw this at the theater and liked it so well I stayed for a second showing of it. What I like about it is it seems so different different than other action movies, all of the characters and the autism aspect put a whole new spin on an action film and made it really interesting.

[@serene1275]

Excellent review. I like the fact that while to most people who hated movies that move to slow dragging scenes too long this movie will shock them. Worth rewatching again which I just did. Can't wait for the sequel to come out next year.

[@redoctober00]

Glad someone finally reacted to this. One of my favorite movies. Feel like there should be a sequel.

[@chriswilliams8902]

One of my favorite serious movies he has done. His performance was so intense

[@PlasticMacele]

Y'all are a cute couple. It was a great reaction, and I agree with the others. This movie really needs a sequel.

[@MrHale]

This is an amazing movie. They've been working on the sequel for a long time. Hope it works out.

[@HonicBlue]

ok, first off, you two are ADORABLE! This is one of my wife's and my favorite movies, so glad to see you react to it. Can't wait for the next one!

[@georgekellon2471]

If you liked that one, you might like "Pay Check" staring Ben Afleck and Uma Thurman.

[@k.e.rudolphevansknightwahl5557]

This movie is so underrated. Its SO GOOD! You're the first one I subscribe to that has actually given it a chance. Great reaction!

[@raymacdonaldcreations505]

Ooh, a GREAT movie! You're the first I've seen to do a reaction to this film... One of my favorite movies and very underrated!

[@copeboy25]

Ben Affleck is a great actor but I think he is one of the best directors i wish Ben would make a second one of these we need the accountant 2

[@ianjardine7324]

I think the reason this film is underrated is because it falls in a weird but great place yes it's a hard hitting action flick but all the characters and plot are extremely complex you have to pay close attention in every scene to understand the plot and characters making it such a brilliant thriller.

[@JamesInDigital]

An underrated gem. There were rumors of a sequel a few years back, but doesn't look like it will happen.

[@technofilejr3401]

26:58 I really liked Affleck as Batman. But I freaking love him as The Accountant. Dang we need a sequel!!

[@serene1275]

It's coming out next year.

[@batbrick3949]

14:52 Notice that the father is reading Jakarta Times. Jakarta is the capitol of Indonesia, birthplace of Pentjak Silat, one of the most brutal martial arts in the world, as shown in The Raid movies.

[@jpeyton85]

When I first heard Ben Affleck was gonna play Batman in Batman vs Superman I wasn't thrilled but he did a surprisingly good job in that role too. Loved this movie and your reaction.

[@MarathonWZ]

Haven't been on the channel in a while man the Beard is looking fire 🔥

[@jeanb.5405]

The company owner stole the money - then over time he was returning it and it set off a red flag so his sister hired the Accountant to find out what was going on. The Owner could see that the Accountant had his number and knew that if he didn't kill him and his own sister and best friend that he himself would go to prison.

[@blackienz173]

I love this movie, glad you guys did it. Not many do, very underrated. She was never falling asleep to this.

[@bebop_557]

"The Accountant" persona is actually based on a real guy, SGM Mike Vining. He was an EOD who became one of the original Delta Force Operators. Dude is still around, too. He actually resurfaced recently. He was known as "The Accountant" in the circles he ran in for his looks. His visage has been stolen by many movies including this one, Sicario (Steve Forsing character), Predator (Hawkins character), etc.

[@RafaelGarcia-ov9uk]

This was a great movie, but what really made this is y'alls reaction and chemistry.

[@soccergirlmom]

Thank you!

[@spellr1]

I love this movie and I wish they would make a sequel. I knew Devin would have so many "eeeewwwww weeeeees!" in this one.

[@pduidesign]

This movie is so underrated! It’s such a great movie.

[@psisax]

Anna Kendrick's "I'm dating a neuro-atypical assassin" movie phase. This, and "Mr. Right".

[@dunbardunelm3924]

Wonderful Reaction 💕 It's a great movie. Not unnecessarily long and every loose end was sewn up nicely ✨😊🥂

[@kevinlowe4953]

This is one of the best reactions... EVER... and you 2 are to cute together... you guy's are not forced.... you are naturally in sinc.... not many people have that.... love this... I'm just shaking my head in awe and wonder.... wow .... man you guy's made my night

[@soccergirlmom]

Thank you so much!

[@conorwellman8592]

4:45 yeah there are levels of background checks required based on your job. I think that is why she was always an analyst and never applied for agent. Her juvenile records are sealed and would not be looked at in a background check for her to be an analyst however if she applied for agent they would look into them and find out she lied on her application to be an analyst. 5:38 It is not that you cant turn your life around it is that you cant lie about your history especially when it is a felony offense as she is committing perjury.

[@theiran]

18:28 That particular Pollock painting is worth at least 140-150 million.

[@bryan85ne]

I like the reaction chemistry of you two. Look forward to more joint reactions.

[@xhyuck]

finally somebody reacting to this movie. i'm on the spectrum and this must be my favourite portray of an autistic person. thank you so much

[@elscoto]

Aww y'all are great! I love watching y'all react to movies! Also we have the same birthday Devin!

[@joshuanelson8594]

Have two boys on the spectrum. Dcf called 23 times. Police reports 6 times. People love to make accusations based on opinions. Good thing professionals and police helped us.

[@bad-people6510]

Solomon Grundy, born on a Monday, Christened on Tuesday, wed on a Wednesday, took ill on Thursday, got worse on Friday, died on a Saturday, buried on Sunday, that was the end of Solomon Grundy. That was very likely Ben Affleck's addition, he's a Batman fan. Even though Solomon Grundy is technically a Green Lantern character.

[@drewg5637]

"The Sum of All Fears" should be on your list. It is the fourth Jack Ryan movie with Ben Affleck as a younger Jack Ryan then the other movies. So it's kind of a prequel to "The Hunt for Red October", "Patriot Games" and "A Clear and Present Danger". If you haven't seen any, it is a great series to watch.

[@BTAColorado]

I've been recommending this one to all kinds of movie reactors on just about every Bourne series reviews, so glad you guys checked it out! Great job by Ben. It doesn't hurt that my super crush is in this one too... 😜

[@jeanb.5405]

I really enjoyed that your girlfriend was with you, you guys are a good reacting team you should do it more often. I have seen this movie about 6 times.

[@biswojyoti1]

This movie came out of nowhere and knocked me the f out. If you ain't a Affleck fan, this will change that

[@shanemichael6606]

at 5:50 you comment what is he doing. he is doing a technique used in advanced martial arts/Muay Thai where they use a roller or object to deaden the nerves in the shin to kick harder. Love the videos

[@8967Logan]

There are aspects of Ben Afleck's character in this movie that remind me of the character he portrays in "Daredevil". Nice reaction.

[@stevendemilo8266]

You enjoyed another great movie by the same director about another set of brothers. Warriors. These are 2 great movies. Thx for the great reaction.

[@kitfisto1847]

That painting is called Free Form. Created in 1946 by Jackson Pollock. While there isn't an exact value number since the original is in a museum, similar Pollock paintings have gone for around $100,000,000. So yeah that girl got a painting worth more than she has ever had lol

[@walterbennett9738]

I love this Movie. It’s one of those movies you watch every time you find it on. I really enjoyed your review and reactions

[@Levamentum]

When you asked how much that painting is worth, it was an original Jackson Pollock. His paintings are almost never sold so pricing is difficult. Sold pieces range from 60 million to 200 million. He painted 360 ish paintings in his life and died at age 44.

[@BigBass-xf5yi]

Movie needs a sequel. So well done and clever

[@MikeTitan18]

I believe the faces he draws on the pumpkins/squash are usually used in older autism emotion charts/cards. He is literally "dealing with his emotions" in that scene lol.

[@buffmaloney]

I was never a fan of him, but now I am a big fan. His portrayal of Bruce Wayne/Batman is what really changed my mind. The Accountant instantly became one of my fav movies. It's so well done.

[@Overlord0011]

Most people I know really started liking him after Good Will Hunting, Armageddon, or Pearl Harbor. Have you seen those? They're pretty good.

[@buffmaloney]

@@Overlord0011 yes, I have. While I enjoyed The Town and Daredevil, it wasn't until Batman that he really impressed. So many actors have done such a bad or boring job, I wasn't expecting much. He surprised.

[@Overlord0011]

@@buffmaloney Fair enough.

[@travistyson2011]

The rolling on the leg is a technique karate and martial arts masters use to toughen up the shins

[@jimglenn6972]

Nice one. Nobody that I know has ever selected it. Another one that is really underrated is Argo. Ben Affleck directed it and stars in it. I don’t think you will be disappointed with it.

Jackson Pollock paintings have sold for over $100 million. The painting in the movie is "The Free Form", a painting similar to TFF in both style and age named "No. 5" sold for $140 million so it's likely that The Free Form would go for somewhere between $100-$140 million and possibly even more.

[@benballesteros6346]

20 :49 a zoomed-out map in your mind of what you think the area is like. Mark a person uses senses to track soeed-up slow-down, change direction...a person's intentions can be felt to thicken. There is a certain thickness level where someone decided. They still need to go through the motions even rethink or hesitate, so you can move to act before the finish, but after they'd decided to...is a thought--just seeing partial and might no know how he supposedly caught that.-Ernie Moore Jr.

[@Overlord0011]

While I don't particularly agree with how the dad tried to help Chris, he was at least trying to deal with it himself while helping Chris cope with it. His mom, on the other hand, tried to push the "problem" onto someone else and when that wasn't an option, she ran. All-in-all, I'd say the better parent raised him.

[@fatkart7641]

5:45 - This technique is used in muay thai. The point of impact of most kicks is the shin. Not only does crushing the nerve endings helps dulling the pain when kicking bamboos or another opponent, but every impact also create micro-fractures. But as it heals, the bone callum tend to accumulate on the fractures and create bumps. So rolling over non-solidified bone callum helps preventing these bumps, but also spread it evenly across the bone, solidifying it uniformly in the process.

[@jeremyroberts8822]

Dang that’s pretty cool I never knew that. I thought when they kick bamboo like that it’s just to kinda get themselves used to the pain and used to kicking other hard surfaces. I didn’t know creating micro fractures and how it heals actually legit made the bone stronger in those spots that makes a lot of sense

[@wjquick32]

I’m so excited for this reaction! I’m a CPA so I have extra love for this movie 😂

[@Bombasticbabygirl]

He was skimming money from the company, holding the money, then reinvested it back into the company to increase the value before they went IPO. He killed his friend (the CFO) to frame him for the skimming. He killed his Sister because now that she knew something was going on, she would have kept digging. Love your videos.

[@sco9718]

@Devin G ..... At the 5:40 mark, he is rolling a stick up his leg to strengthen his shins.... From what i'v READ, NOT an expert, you apply pressure while rolling a stick up and down your shins causing very slight MICRO FRACTURES which then heal causing calcium deposits on top of the damaged bone which allows them to heal STRONGER and can also "deaden" the nerves in the area so the pain signals are weaker.... It's used in Muay Thai and other martial arts

[@MichaelDBurns1]

Another great reaction! Such a good movie too. Keep it up and do more joint reactions more often.

[@charleysage5827]

My son is highly functioning autistic. They did a great job of showing some of the quirks associated. Fortunately he has overcome his social withdrawal and expressing emotions. I don't like labels but he's quite popular. He's very kind and has a great sense of humor.

[@RanRayu]

yea they did a great job of portraying a part of the autism spectrum in this. not perfect, but atleast he isnt another idiot-savant. and being on the spectrum myself, and having lived with 20 other people on the spectrum for nearly 10 years, i recognize alot of the traits in afleck's performance. one of the things i like most about this performance is the way afleck behaves when he reunites with his brother, as if they just saw each other this morning.
