The Accountant(2016)
So Ben Affleck is a mathematics wizard who relates understands numbers more than people. He makes his living as a freelance accountant for dangerous criminal organizations. Little does he know Treasury agent (J.K. Simmons) is hot on his heels, So Ben takes on a state-of-the-art robotics company as a legitimate client(John Lithgow) As Ben gets closer to the truth about a discrepancy that involves millions of dollars, the body count rises.
Affleck really has a affinity playing tortured/tormented characters like here which he does a solid job(I believe he should continue down that road with future roles) same for the supporting cast, and decent amount of action. Only thing is there is really no new ground covered we seen all this before just with different faces, nothing thats really in your face, and so as strong as the cast and action is here the overall feeling at the end of it is disappointment.
6/10 but had potential to be a 8 or 9.
