Reel Talk:

I was on the fence when I went to screen this movie because the trailer did not reveal a lot with regards to it and honestly Ben Affleck has not had a good movie in a minute. Well all I can say is this one here is a winner! Affeck as an accountant who turns mercenary is a action thriller that will keep you engaged from beginning to the end. Plus you have to stay with the movie to follow along and figure out where the plot is taking you. This was a excellent movie with a good story and a good cast. A must see definitely worth going to see.
