Ben Affleck is still one of the most in-demand leading men for blockbusters. He played Batman in Zack Snyder’s DC movies. He shoots Oscar nominees (Argo) and flops (Live by Night). He also plays the main role every few years in a pure and above all raw action film. The best representative of this small selection (Reindeer Games, The Town, Triple Frontier) is The Accountant, which you currently Stream on Amazon Prime can.
Now on Amazon: The Accountant is Ben Affleck’s hard-hitting mini Batman solo film
Affleck plays Michael Wolff, a man on the autism spectrum who uses his math talent to do bookkeeping for criminal firms. He pairs his precise nature with a Training as a sniper and with martial arts training. After an assignment, killers are put on him and a manhunt through American nobodies begins.
When it was released theatrically, The Accountant looked like one at the time Warm up for Ben Affleck’s Batman solo film. Affleck uses the emotionless, technical but tough fighting style in Batman v Superman as well, the power of the 1.90 tall actor comes into its own. The character Wolff is morally dodgy and difficult to understand, just like Affleck’s Bruce Wayne, whose ethical orientation is drowned in an ideology of revenge, especially in Batman v Superman.

We will probably never get any closer than The Accountant to the failed Batman solo film by and with Ben Affleck, which was still being planned in 2016, but which we now know that it will never be implemented. Affleck gave up the ambitious project (directing and starring) due to personal issues. The new Batman is called Robert Pattinson. Affleck will make a final appearance as the current state dark knight in The Flash film.
The shoot-out action in The Accountant is a treat – for a reason
Tough melee action, Ben Affleck trying to believably portray an autistic person, plus key supporting cast like Jon Bernthal, Anna Kendrick and JK Simmons: The Accountant has plenty of show value.
In order to perceive perhaps the biggest one, you have to listen a little more closely. Rarely did the shots from a heavy sniper rifle sound fuller. When Ben Affleck pulls the trigger in an open field, for example, where the sound can propagate particularly well, there’s a real bang. The sound gives The Account an extra appeal.
