The Accountant is an action film starring Ben Affleck a man with some unusual skills for an accountant. He's good with numbers in the same way that Dustin Hoffman was good with them in Rain Man. He's a savant with a lot of social skills lacking. But he's great at martial arts and has the expert shooting eye of a trained marksman sniper. Romance is kept to a minimum in The Accountant.
Tycoon John Lithgow hires Affleck to find out where money has been disappearing for the past few years. Affleck traces it down, but then bodies start dropping and Affleck himself comes in harm's way.
There's an involved prologue in The Accountant showing Affleck's background as a kid in a military family. The only friend he really has is a younger brother. In the end the reason for the prologue becomes clear as Treasury Agent J.K. Simmons explains his peculiar relationship with a numbers who can double as a killer.
The plot in The Accountant gets a bit over involved but there's enough action to make up for it for fans of action. Look also for good performances from Affleck's assigned assistant Anna Kendrick, Cynthia Addai Robinson as Simmons's assistant at Treasury and contact hit man Jon Bernthal who has a most unusual relationship dynamic with Affleck.
Enough action to satisfy.
