The Accountant

Christian Wolff (Ben Affleck) is an autistic math savant. He is a small-town CPA with a side-gig as a freelance accountant for criminal organizations. Wolff is a shadowy figure who eludes the Feds until, with the law closing in, he chooses a new legit client, a robotics firm. At this company the accounting clerk Dana Cummings (Anna Kendrick) has discovered a discrepancy. Nobody expected him to find the truth, especially company CEO (John Lithgow) and (spoiler alert) everything goes dramatically sideways as a result.

The compelling thing about this film is the performance of Ben Affleck. His life has been a tortured trial, an abusive father bent on 'fixing' his neuro-divergent son has created an action hero: a Jason Bourne who suffers in loneliness as he excels at his job.

The story line isn't perfect by any means, however it's a satisfying action film with a plethora of great plot twists and excitement. Definitely worth a look.
