Review of The Accountant (2016) by Marko V — 24 Jun 2017

Christian Wolff(Ben Affleck) a freelance accountant, who is also an autistic savant, making him perfectly good with numbers and figuring things out perfectly, but is unable to connect with people on an emotional level, he also works as a contract killer. But soon finds himself in over his head when he meets Dana(Anna Kendrick) a young accountant for his new client, and soon FBI agents begin to start closing in on him.

A very well made action thriller, it's not over the top action, the movie carefully sets up it's story perfectly. Ben Affleck gives a brilliant performance has someone with high functioning autism, I believe he did his homework on autism, and it really shows in his performance. Jon Bernthal steals some scenes has a menacing hit-man/bodyguard. J.K. Simmons is also good, so is Anna Kendrick, although I wish that could have expanded her character more. I admired the way it explains Afflecks character in flashbacks and how he became who he is. I also like is just when you thought it was gonna have plot holes, and then corrects it. Although one surprise I kind of saw coming, but I really loved this movie, I think it overshadows Jason Bourne.
