a5c7b9f00b Christian Wolff is an efficient accountant that is usually hired to find financial deceptions and embezzlement for criminal organizations. His point of contact is a woman&#39;s voice by phone and the means of payment are sometimes valuable paintings or gold bars instead of money. Christian was an autistic child that received a rigid military training with his brother Braxton from their paranoid military father. The director of the Treasure Department Raymond &quot;Ray&quot; Kinghas been unsuccessfully hunting The Accountant for a long period and he blackmails the efficient analyst Marybeth Medina to identify who he is before his retirement. When the accountant, Dana Cummings, finds an embezzlement of 61 million-dollars in the Living Robotics, Christian is hired to audit the company by the owner Lamar Blackburn and his sister Rita Blackburn. The financial director Ed Chilton tells that Dana committed a mistake but soon Christian checks the books and confirms the embezzlement. During the night, Chilton is murderedif he had committed suicide and Lamar finishes the audit affecting Christian that have not finished his work. Soon Dana and Chris are hunted down by hitmen and Christian protects her. Meanwhile Medina finds his true identity and Christian is hunted by Ray and the FBI. Who might be the person behind the embezzlement? As a math savant uncooks the books for a new client, the Treasury Department closes in on his activities, and the body count starts to rise. I went in expecting an entertaining action movie and it was that and a little more. Original and very well executed, amazingly paced and an unexpected good movie! It does the job it was meant to do - keep you entertained. I&#39;ll admit it&#39;s not a &quot;perfect&quot; movie, actually far from it, and the acting was not top tier, but I will remember the original idea and good execution. I am definitely looking forward to seeing more work from this director. And given all of the high-budget, source- material driven/sequel-to-a-one-hit-wonder action movies flooding the market, I think we need more such movies! Advice: watch the movie (with an open mind) and rate. I&#39;m all thumbs-up for this. i loved it. action film junkies would love it too. in general, it&#39;s a story about a reclusive accountant (Ben Affleck) with extraordinary problem-solving skills, who is also managing a personality disorder, until he encounters a fellow problem-solver (Anna Kendrick) who has gotten in over her head and needs his help. it has a great balance between emotion and action. Affleck is brilliant in the role. he employs beautiful nuances in his performance and he&#39;s hilarious. (my theater was clapping and oo-awwing the whole time) i hope to see sequels. Anna Kendrick was her usual witty self, but i think Affleck trumped her a bit in this one. i never saw heran action girl, but she did great. serious credit goes to the editors, because the storytelling was powerful mostly due to the way the visual pieces fit together. everything was harmonious. i could watch this again and again, and learn something new about the characters. isn&#39;t that the hallmark of a great movie? well, i highly recommend it. in a nutshell, it was an action flick about thinkers, and it was fun.<br/><br/>9/10<br/><br/>*Potential Spoiler* only thing I did not like about the film was having Kendricka potential love interest. she looked like a child in comparison to Affleck, and that made it a little uncomfortable to watch. but they are still a charismatic, funny duo. maybe she could play Robin?? The Accountant tallies up its numbers for an achingly long 50 minutes before it starts to finally piece together any semblance of a structured plot.
