The Accountant (2016)
Just Another Invincible American Hero
Suspend your disbelief and go in with low expectations. You will get a slow start, boring sub plots, 2 dimensional characters but ultimately you'll get Jason Bourne type action which is good enough for a Sunday arvo 'turn off your brain' flick. I already knew this going in by the movie poster of Affleck holding a sniper rifle and the title being 'The Accountant' but I was surprised to see the ~7 rating on IMDB.
The Jackal (1997)
Worth a Watch if you like the Genre
I can see why this film would get a lot of bad reviews. The plot is not spectacular, the script is pretty weak, the foreign accents are not convincing and the acting could use some work. Having said all that I think it is an enjoyable movie to watch if you're into the thriller genre when the bad guy is a master assassin. The most entertaining parts of the film that really carry the whole production are the scenes with The Jackal displaying his expertise. The identities he uses, the underground networks and systems utilised to find the information and hardware required to accomplish his task. This is what this film has that makes it worth watching. Similar to the Bourne films but from the perspective of the bad guy.
