Movie: The Accountant (2016)**

An autistic boy grows up under the thumb of an Army specialist father only to become accountant to the biggest criminals in the world and world-class killer. What happens when the criminal client turns on their bookkeeper? That's what this movie is all about along with a few less than surprising reveals.

This movie was weak. A good cast gave okay performances at best. The comedic elements (Were they even meant to be be comedic elements?) were awkward. The action happened. The last reveal I figured out halfway through the movie. Duh. The Accountant felt like it was trying to be superhero movie. It felt like it was trying to set up for a sequel. I don't see a need to ever watch it again and I hope there is no sequel. Why, Ben? Why? Why must you make these half-assed films.

I'll give this two stars ** because I watched the whole thing. I didn't really hate it, but there wasn't much to like.


I checked The Accountant out from the library.
