The Punisher vs. The Accountant
Not sure if many of you watched the Accountant, but here it goes:
Bernthal's The Punisher vs. Affleck's The Accountant.
Round 1: Pure h2h fight in a UFC cage
Round 2: Each one is out to assassinate the other, they come with as many weapons as they can carry on their persons. Battle ground is a huge empty mansion.

I haven't seen The Accountant myself. Is it any good? And I figure if you are putting him up against someone like Frank, he's likely a pretty though SOB.
It was a decent action movie. I don't know if I can say it was a good movie but the action was pretty good. I'd say it was good enough that I don't feel I wasted my money in the theater.
And yes, he was a pretty tough and skilled SOB. One of the more badass roles I've seen Affleck in.
Hey guys, first post here as I just registered. Been following you all for quite some time, and this is, IMO, the best movie/games forum on the web I've found yet. Pleasure to be a part of the team.
Saw The Accountant last Thursday, and I've almost finished Season 2 of Daredevil (watched Episode 12 last night in fact). Bernthal is great in both.
Anyone who can go toe-to-toe with Season 2 Matt would beat Affleck's Accountant. The Accountant is very skilled in H2H (throughout his grappling is legit), but Frank matching Daredevil is on a higher level. Frank takes Round 1.
Unless some insanity happens in Episode 13 of Daredevil, I'm going with The Accountant in Round 2. His accuracy with anything from a high-powered rifle to a handgun is actually built-in to his character to be near perfect. The climax to the movie is similar to the stips in Round 2, actually. (Note: once I learn how to do spoilers, I can elaborate.)
The only X-Factor I see is durability, as both have instances were they are shot/stabbed/pummeled and still get the job done. Frank, however, dropped onto an air duct or roof (can't remember) during one of his first fights with Daredevil and had a drill go through his left foot, and kept going like a beast in both instances.

I might have to check it out then. As long as the action is decent, I don't mind if a film plot is a bit flat, or paint-by-numbers. I generally enjoy those one-man rampage movies.

I missed this initially, but welcome to the boards. Hope you have plenty of good discussions here.
