Review of The Accountant (2016) by Viet Phuong N — 02 Jul 2017
The plot is incoherent at parts but the action is surprisingly solid, whereas the character "The Accountant" himself is well-built (despite all the mumbo jumbo about his past) with cool appearance (post-"Gone Girl" Ben Affleck seems to be much comfortable in his roles), John Wick-like abilities (a new trend these days), and the necessary absence of cliches about a troubled past or cheesy romances (the subplot about Anna Kendrick's Dana is totally unnecessary in this regard).
The "revelation" in the end is another disappointment, but otherwise this film laid out the ground work that is promising enough for any decent sequel (and indeed it is under preparation).
