12 Bafflingly High 2016 IMDb Scores You Will Not Believe

12. The Accountant

IMDb Rating: 7.5

Critics had a lot of fun reviewing The Accountant, sprinkling their headlines with “The Accountant doesn’t add up” and so on. The title was the gift that kept on giving, and even though the film was far from a disaster, it's damn messy.

The film starred Ben Affleck as an autistic accountant who also works as an assassin, because we all need a hobby. The film treats autism like some kind of superpower, allowing him to be really good at maths and shooting dudes in the face. It takes itself somewhat seriously despite the silly premise, and while it’s got plenty of fine actors and good action, the film never clicks together properly.

In spite of this it has a very cosy 7.5 rating, and appears to have been much more a hit with viewers than critics. Suppose that’s the only thing that counts, really.
