For years I avoided any movie with Ben as I knew he would ruin it. This movie is really good but Ben almost ruined it for me. He didn't seem like an educated successful marketer, and he didn't display the pain of losing it all either. I make pretty good money at my job but I still live middle class just in case I get fired I won't have to try and sell a mansion and sports car. Once I save up more cash to buy a mansion outright then I will.

In the past I have not liked Ben Affleck at all, but he is definitely improving with age (he even looks better now). Maybe because he is directing his own movies now I think he picks better parts too. I really liked him in this movie and I really liked him in his own movie "The Town".
shareI thought Ben did pretty well in this film. However, some actors just rub us the wrong way no matter what role they take. Even though many people like Keira Knightley, I cannot stand her in anything. There's just something about her acting style, her anorexic figure, and that protruding jaw of lower teeth...that always bug me.
Good job on not living beyond your means. That is one of the keys to long-term success. I believe there was a book called "The Millionaire Next Door", and it was about people like you that save properly and live within a budget - they tend to be the ones that discreetly become millionaires; ending up with very comfortable lives and rarely worry about not having enough money. If done right, no one should be losing a house and their car only three months after a layoff from a six-figure job. Had Ben's character and wife lived within their means to begin with, the layoff would have been a hiccup while he looked for work.
I agree. Don't know if it's entirely Affleck here, or his character, but I had no sympathy for that uppity douchebag.
From the beginning, with his, "guess what my score was this morning" BS, to his speech to his fellow workers at the end, like he started the new company, and got them all back to work.
Maybe another actor would have played the role so that I'd actually have cared about Bob Walker a little more. Who knows
No, Jai Courtney is a worse actor then him times about 20.
shareHey, you never replied to my comment in this thread here I made back in May:

I just want to make sure you read it or not. If not, take the time to read it and respond to it if you wish. But at least let me know there or here that you read it and if you have anything to say about my reply.
Ben still the worst male actor ever? I think you need to see some more movies, mate. Try watching any of these mediocrity specialists:
Ashton Kutcher, Angelina Jolie, Shia Labeouf, Gwyneth Paltrow, Keanu Reeves, Jennifer Lopez, Brandon Fraser, and of course (the worst of all time) Madonna.
I'm sure there are plenty of others but these popped into my head as the obvious ones. Ok, some of those aren't male but I don't want to create the impression I'm discriminating.
