Didn't you?

You get a gold star.

Thank you very much.

No, I said it pretty late in the movie. Plus, I asked at least 3 times, "what about . . ."

reply

Anybody can run around to all the movie sites claiming anything they want after the fact, but the only one you're impressing is yourself. But I'll be kind.....Attaboy!

BTW, which twist, the thing about his brother, or the painting, or the thermos, or the computer aide...etc.?

reply

I guessed the identity of the brother
I woulda identified the brit as well, but my short term memory sucks, so i soon forgot about her after she was shown in the first scene

reply

I guessed as soon as I was born. I knew that in late 2016, there would be a movie called The Accountant, and every scene was exactly as I expected it would be.

reply

Lol, good one. 

I didn't know that was meant to be a plot twist. I thought the idea was that their meeting was meant to be an amazing coincidence and that Jon Bernthal had "lost" Ben Affleck at some point in his life. I felt a sense of awkwardness and then relief towards the end, so it felt cathartic that way. I'm glad I didn't know it was a plot twist, because I don't think I would have known how to feel about it.

reply

Well, since a plot twist is "a radical change in the expected direction or outcome of the movie", I would say that this is a plot twist. Everyone expected these guys to shoot it out.

reply

I had subtitles on and they had the characters' names. Not sure when I would have figured it out otherwise.

reply

i guessed the whole its his brother thing but it doesnt take a genius to figure that one out

reply

@a-al0695

You are absolutely right! You don't have to be a genius to figure out what was going on. That was the point that I was making. Still people think that I'm being a smart ass.

reply

I saw the twist coming 3 miles away.

There are 1568 twists in this movie:

1: the brother
2: The Picture for anna kendrick
3: The talking woman on the phone
4: The guy knew that the computer the woman who was talking on the phone has 12 cores.
5: Head of the orginasation killing himself
6: The workers who went to kill Anna Kendrick the blue one's or the black one's?

You have to be more specific about twist.

reply
