THE ACCOUNTANT
Directed by Gavin O'Connor
Screenplay by Bill Dubuque
Starring Ben Affleck; Anna Kendrick; J.K. Simmons; and John Lithgow
The Accountant is much better than I thought it would me. The film follows a child who is autistic from childhood to manhood. He is ...well...an accountant. However by the trailer you can tell he is more than an accountant.
There is a lot right with this film:
-The chemistry between Kendrick and Affleck is really strong and they play off each other well. Sometimes with humor.
-I mean they have Simmons and Lithgow...I mean...really.
The script starts out strong...then dies a predictable (trying to surprise the viewer but I saw it coming half way through the film), almost silly ending. Ugh!!! It was going so well!! Then characters were behaving unrealistic when they had a chance to run. Little things like that. Hated the last 20 minutes.
Still it is exciting and worth a look. 3 1/2 of 5. Well acted...entertaining I just wanted a better, or stronger finish.
The Accountant is available now for home viewing.
From the shadows as always thanks for your time.
