Okay, so I’ve been on this kick lately, trying to find movies that give me that same vibe as “The Accountant.” You know, the first one, with Ben Affleck being all, like, math-genius-meets-killing-machine? Yeah, good stuff. So, naturally, I was hyped for “The Accountant 2,” but then… crickets. It’s been, like, forever in development hell.
So I decided, “Fine! I’ll do it myself!” Not, like, make the movie, obviously. But I was gonna find some other flicks that scratched that same itch.
The Hunt Begins
First, I just started brainstorming. What was it about “The Accountant” that I liked? It wasn’t just the action, although that was awesome. It was the whole… smart guy, hidden skills, dangerous world thing. So I started listing out those elements.
- Smart protagonist – like, really smart.
- Hidden abilities – not just, like, “oh, he’s good at chess.” More like, “oh, he’s a deadly assassin.”
- Action, obviously – gotta have some good fight scenes or shootouts.
- A bit of mystery – something to keep me guessing.
With that list, I started searching. Just, you know, good old-fashioned Googling. I tried phrases like “movies like The Accountant,” “action movies with smart protagonists,” “thrillers with hidden identities,” all that jazz. I dug through a bunch of “Top 10” lists and blog posts, and jotted down anything that sounded even remotely interesting.
Then came the hard part: actually watching the darn things. I plowed through a lot of movies. Some were okay, some were total garbage. It was a real mixed bag, let me tell you.I made notes. I made a huge sheet of which movies I need to watch.
After many, many hours, I found a good list for me. I narrowed them down to the ones that I feel best fit that “Accountant” vibe.
I achieved my goal, hahaha!
