Review of The Accountant (2016) by Dawdlingpoet — 22 Nov 2021

I enjoyed this film - the plot seemed quite well thought out, its relatively thought provoking and not just full of action scenes, although there are some quite good action scenes as well. Its by no means a stuffy film, although you could be excused for assuming it might be given the title - I think its fair to say that accountants aren't generally expected to have esp. interesting lives but this one in particular certainly does.

Its not entirely original, as there have been a particularly high number of films out in the last 5-10 years about greed incl. corporate greed. It features a decent cast with Ben Affleck, Anna Kendrick and John Lithgow - the stand out performance in my eyes being from Anna Kendrick - her character, Dana Cummings, intrigued me. I enjoyed the plot development and thought it was one of the better action/thriller films I've seen recently, so I'd recommend it on that basis.
