by Coop Cooper Ben Affleck stars as Christian Wolff, an autistic savant and accountant, who cooks the books for some of the most notorious criminals on the planet. Meticulous about his every move, he decides to take an assignment at a legitimate prosthetic limb corporation after one too many risky jobs. He finds a kindred spirit in Dana Cummings (Anna Kendrick), a low-level employee who found the accounting discrepancy which let to his hiring by the company founder, Lamar Black (John Lithgow). When Wolff finds the source of the leaked funds, a couple of company executives end up dead and Wolff discovers that he and Dana have been targeted for assassination. Luckily, Wolff has been trained to deal with dangerous situations and his skill and attention to detail make him a deadly adversary to the assassins lead by the intimidating Brax (John Bernthal). While this plot line sounds corny, “The Accountant” might be the best action thriller of the year. It feels like a cross between the action/intrigue of the “Bourne” movies mixed with the character complexity of “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo”.
