The Accountant
Rating 8.5 out of 10
No this isn't about a guy that works at the H&R Block doing taxes for old folks. The Accountant is a good action movie with above average acting and an interesting story that keeps you tied in. Ben Affleck plays Christian Wolff. A young boy that suffers from asperger's syndrome that while makes for a rough childhood where he is often picked on his amazing math skills make him the perfect accountant. His military father makes him tough in every way thus making him the perfect bookkeeper for mobsters and drug dealers who feel they are being cheated. He can spot the rat in a sea of numbers like no one else.
Wolff with his upbringing is as tough as they come. He makes Batman look like Commissioner Gordons little girl. Anyone messes with him pays a price. When he takes on a job of finding someone stealing money at a big time robotics company his life is in danger along with the cute company accountant (Anna Kendrick) that is helping him.
The movie takes several twists that tie up just fine in the end. The action is very good and the story is fun to follow. Ben Affleck does an above average job as does the always fantastic J.K. Simmons. I think Anna Kendrick was miscast a bit but didn't really effect the movie outcome. The Hottie and I both liked this movie alot.
