The Accountant

I was able to see this last weekend. Never planned to watch it when it hit the cinema. Overall, I find it really good and was surprised that it was not being discussed here.

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.

I didn't mind this at all actually.

It's the name, whoever decided to name an action film "The Accountant" needs to be shot. The ads did not do it any favors either. I've said it before and it applies here too, the problem these days is not too that there are too few outlets for my entertainment dollar - there are too many and if a show does not make a good impression in an advertisement then it is pretty much doomed - even if it were good (and most of the reviews say it is not).
