The Accountant Film Review

Finished watching The Accountant directed by Gavin O'Connor and staring Ben Affleck, J. K. Simmons, Cynthia Addai-Robinson, Anna Kendrick and John Bernthal. The film opens up with accountant Christian Wolff (Ben Affleck) being at a the centre of an investigation that director of the Treasury Department Raymond King (J. K. Simmons) has analysis Marybeth Medina (Cynthia Addai-Robinson) blackmailed into finding out the who Christian is. As this is happening in the background of the film Christian has be given a job for robotics company who's own accountant, Dana Cummings (Anna Kendrick) has discover that a sum of money is unaccounted for. When Christian discovers that there is a large amount of money missing a hired assassin (John Bernthal) begins to kill the people who know about the missing money with a hit being but on Christian's head as well. Overall this was a great film as it the action is great with the hand to hand combat of within the film being choreographed greatly with the other scenes leave an edge of you seat with the amount of suspense the film has throughout. There is a great amount of character interaction between Christian and the rest of the cast he interacts with works perfectly for the character's development and allows the film to show flashbacks of Christian's life. The eventual meeting between Christian and John Bernthal's character is one of the most emotionally driven scenes within the film thanks to the history the two characters discover to have. 8/10.
