REEL DEAL: The Accountant REVIEW


After debuting as Batman for Dawn of Justice, Ben Affleck goes back to thrilling drama with THE ACCOUNTANT. As he directed / produced / featured in award winning films like Argo and Gone Girl, The Accountant spells another dark movie with twisted characters. However it proves to be different when we saw this.

Though it shows the double life of Accountant Christian Wolff which actually does accounting work but with a dangerous clientele. And with his dangerous occupation, he remains calm and focused with every move despite having autism which bothered his family in his younger years. Now he grew and became an very efficient professional and even in his personal life.

Anna Kendrick may be known for musicals and comedies, but she again challenges herself to do dark plot with some moments of jokes which are well delivered. But again the movie is really serious with guns, blood, and money on the line. Other characters like JK Simmons, and Cynthia Addai-Robinson stood out with the perdicament they have and also knowing that they also came from comic book movies/series like Spiderman and Arrow.


The Accountant stars Ben Affleck, Anna Kendrick, J. K. Simmons, Jon Bernthal, Jeffrey Tambor, and John Lithgow. Now showing in cinemas distributed by Warner Bros Entertainment Company.

Deliberation time kids!
