Christian Wolff (Ben Affleck) is a math savant with more affinity for numbers than people. Behind the cover of a small-town CPA office, he works as a freelance accountant for some of the world's most dangerous criminal organizations. With the Treasury Department's Crime Enforcement Division, run by Ray King (J.K. Simmons), starting to close in, Christian takes on a legitimate client: a state-of-the-art robotics company where an accounting clerk (Anna Kendrick) has discovered a discrepancy involving millions of dollars. But as Christian uncooks the books and gets closer to the truth, it is the body count that starts to rise.
Wow! I'd heard this was a good movie and meant to see it in the theaters, but with this, that and the other, I didn't get to. Now it is out on DVD. My husband and I both enjoyed the hell out of The Accountant. It is part Jack Reacher, part John Wick.
It starts out a little slow, I could see my husband giving me the "what did I let you talk me into seeing" look. Then the sheep got real. Total action movie. The last thirty minutes blew my mind! Plot twists!
I thought Ben Affleck did a great job and Jon Bernthal was looking hot! They kept it real when it came to the "romance" aspect...there wasn't one, well, not in the normal sense.
This would have been worth full price at the theater and definitely worth a rental. It is violent: lots of head shots. There is the right amount of humor and a happy for now ending with the possibility for a sequel.
