The Accountant Storyline

Christian Wolff, only the latest alias he has used over the course of his life, owns and operates his own small accounting firm in Plainfield, Illinois. He is a high level autistic, who is able to control his need for strict order, routine, and the completion of tasks, and his natural inability to tolerate extreme external stimuli, through medication and a daily regimen designed to withstand such. His father, an Army colonel, made him and his younger brother, one of the few people to who he has always had a natural affinity, go through extreme physical and mental training, such as in the martial arts, when they were children so that they could defend themselves against any bullying specifically against Chris. Chris is also a savant when it comes to numbers, mathematics and spotting discrepancies in order. While Chris does have some legitimate accounting clients in Plainfield, his storefront is largely just a cover for how he makes most of his wealth – which is vast – as a forensic accounting consultant, usually to criminal organizations who are looking for any internal discrepancies i.e. if anyone on the inside is skimming off the top. On the advice of his unseen female associate, with who he communicates solely via electronic means, Chris takes a legitimate consulting job with Living Robotics, founded and still owned and run by Lamar Blackburn and his sister Rita, when one of their low level accountants, Dana Cummings, notices what she believes are some discrepancies in the company’s financials over the course of years. Unknown to Chris when he accepts this job, his taking it, places his and Dana’s lives in jeopardy, she another of those few people in life to whom he has a natural affinity, which may not be obvious on the surface due to his difficulty in social interaction. Upon learning that his and Dana’s lives are at risk, Chris decides his self-appointed mission, against his regimen and routine, is to protect Dana at all cost, and figuratively – or literally if the opportunity arises – to put a bullet through the head of whoever has contracted the hit on them. Added to the complication of the situation is that Ray King, the highly successful director of the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) at the Treasury Department, has assigned his most talented analyst Marybeth Medina to track down the man coined The Accountant who is known to work for crime organizations, the only real lead being The Accountant’s photographs – none with a clear face shot – with known crime bosses, and another former alias used, Louis Carroll. King is clear that Medina’s career is on the line if she is unsuccessful. While this assignment is outwardly working toward the goals of FinCEN, King has ulterior motives for wanting Medina specifically to track down The Accountant which he does not tell her.

The Accountant Movie Reviews

Engaging thriller with some good action. Ben Affleck’s best performance.

When it released in theatre i dismissed it thinking it might be a dull movie on an accountant.

I thot another Bourne rip off or shaky cam stuff but this one is a good thriller.

Affleck did a superb job n he adopted the traits, behaviors and symptoms of autism very well.

There is sufficient character development n the story has good amount of twists n turns.

There is ample amount of action, both gun firing n hand to hand combat.

The headshots r brutal, the body count is high n the movie ended well leaving room for a much needed sequel.

Thankfully it is not shot in hand held camera a la Jason Bourne n Taken style jus to make it appear fast paced.

The movie is engaging n entertaining.

Suspense n tension is maintained throughout.

Director O’Connor succeeded in normalising autism and showing that behavioural conditions should not get in the way of anyone’s life.

The song To Leave Something Behind by Sean Rowe is haunting n mesmerizing.

Love The Accountant so much, I have Asperger’s I appreciate it more

Before today I saw The Accountant in the theater and I wasn’t reviewing back then so here I am. Such a great movie about a wonderfully unique being that is very good at many meticulous details such as mathematics, his work really well and mysterious things. Incredible performances from everyone and well written I’m surprised it wasn’t nominated a few years ago! Warms my heart to relate to things, glad I own this amazing film in 4K!

Numbers and weapons

The Accountant is an action film starring Ben Affleck a man with some unusual skills for an accountant. He’s good with numbers in the same way that Dustin Hoffman was good with them in Rain Man. He’s a savant with a lot of social skills lacking. But he’s great at martial arts and has the expert shooting eye of a trained marksman sniper. Romance is kept to a minimum in The Accountant.

Tycoon John Lithgow hires Affleck to find out where money has been disappearing for the past few years. Affleck traces it down, but then bodies start dropping and Affleck himself comes in harm’s way.

There’s an involved prologue in The Accountant showing Affleck’s background as a kid in a military family. The only friend he really has is a younger brother. In the end the reason for the prologue becomes clear as Treasury Agent J.K. Simmons explains his peculiar relationship with a numbers who can double as a killer.

The plot in The Accountant gets a bit over involved but there’s enough action to make up for it for fans of action. Look also for good performances from Affleck’s assigned assistant Anna Kendrick, Cynthia Addai Robinson as Simmons’s assistant at Treasury and contact hit man Jon Bernthal who has a most unusual relationship dynamic with Affleck.

Enough action to satisfy.
