Review of The Accountant (2016) by Ryan H — 20 Apr 2018
Thrilling and intense but just a little disappointing, The Accountant hits more than it misses, but it's far from perfect. Ben Affleck gives a strong, committed performance, absolutely nailing the behavior and mannerisms of someone with High-Functioning Autism.
Anna Kendrick also gives a great performance despite not having as much screen time as I expected. Regardless, she and Affleck have good chemistry together, and seeing them standing next to each other made me realize 1.
How tall Affleck is (6'4") and 2. How short Kendrick is (5'0") and it honestly made me laugh a little. The film as a whole does leave much to be desired. The pacing is uneven at times, and there's more exposition than is probably necessary.
That being said, the action is fun and intense, the flashbacks are appropriately used, and I'm honestly excited for any future sequels that may come.
