a5c7b9f00b Christian Wolff 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, starting to close in, Christian takes on a legitimate client: a state-of-the-art robotics company where an accounting clerk 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. 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. Ben has renewed my faith in his acting chops after that whole Batman mess. This movie was action from the jump. He killed this role with the perfect flat expression and lack of emotion that for some reason made you cheer for him and not the bad guys. Yet he was the bad guy in a good guy kinda way. JK Simmons, as always a treat. He's just so good in everything he touches. Even those insurance commercials. Only downside was Anna Kendrick. She just doesn't carry the load with an all star cast like this. Her part was big but it was needed. Should have cast a stronger actress for the role. John Lithgow as always good. All around big action. No big twists the movie just rolls out in one well written well portrayed revenge plot. Well done, Ben. Now we can forget Batman. This month we got 2nd sequel of Jack Reacher and The Accountant. Both are incomparable with their own story, but their main character stand on same value. A simple solitaire person with high- end skills of self-defense and stand for the goodness.<br/><br/>In my opinion as an accountant, I say this movie as "Balance and Unqualified". How come the creator up with those exceptional idea ?<br/><br/>This movie is a complete package story. The issue of financial scandal, tax evasion, then bundled with super-action-hero who dedicate his action to an immovable ethic code of conduct, and ended with an idea of philanthropy. The best part of it was the story contain so many clues that only able to solve if you didn't move your seat until the end of the movie.<br/><br/>What can I say ? It's a PERFECT ENTERTAINING MOVIE! The film juggles a “follow the money” procedural with corporate espionage thriller, producing two competing tones that never reconcile into one fluid narrative.
