Review of The Accountant (2016) by Schroederrock — 24 Dec 2016
The Accountant kind of fumbles through many of its overarching intentions. It's a Bourne-level action film with some heart at its best, a bit of a ho-hum thriller at its worst. That being said, I don't think this is a waste of time for most people.
The film tries to build out some elaborate plot that comes together toward the end but the "big reveal" ends up being so underwhelming that you might question whether there was supposed to be one in the first place.
Unfortunately, that softer climax ends up making a lot of the fragment-style narrative that you'll spend 90 minutes diving into not as fun. All of the story angles told are relevant and in some ways important, you'll just wonder why the writers decided to bother with some of it (or, at the very least, bother spending as much time on those angles).
I found myself enjoying The Accountant, it just wasn't quite the thriller it was billed to be.
