PLOT

-----------

                 Christian Wolf, an accountant, is hired to manage the books of a famous robotic company lead by a philanthropist business man. They hired wolf inorder to double check the theory of dana Cummings, an employee of the organization, that the account books are erroneous. The story gets interesting when wolf came to know that every person who came to know about the scam are getting murdered one by one.

OPINION

---------------------

                 The story is really predictable but it doesn't really affect your viewing experience since it's an action centric movie. The action scenes are terrific and Ben Affleck's capability to do his own stunts really help the movie. The action scenes are taken without a plethora of cuts and looks original. The cinematography is really good especially during the action sequences. Anna Kendrick as Dana Cummings is really cute and induce genuine laughs here and there. Jon Bernthal as the crazy assassin is a perfect casting. His attitude is quite interesting and the writer  could've included some good action scenes for him.

                  The story of an autistic kid who excels in everything he touches without any huge drawbacks is hollywood's version of autism. But they almost get away with it thanks to Affleck's acting prowess. The climax was somewhat unpredictable and interesting. I liked the ending even though there are many people who disliked ( more like hated ) it.

Final verdict
--------------------------

  The accountant is a good watch for those who wish to see some blood plumbing action on screen. I am going with 3 stars out of five for the thrill this film gave me.

Verdict : Good
