I recently watched a movie called The Accountant which was written by Bill Dubuque. It was probably one of the best movies I've seen in a while. Ben Affleck stars as the main character, Chris Wolff. The movie starts out showing Wolff as a child, being diagnosed with a form of autism. He was also antisocial and showed forms of obsessive compulsive disorder. At that time, he had some behavioral problems but was extremely smart. His father was in the military and his mom had problems dealing with him. The movie shows some other hard times in Wolff's early life, which I won't spoil for you... When Wolff gets older, he becomes an accountant. He's not just any accountant, he works for mobsters and other criminals. His line of work becomes dangerous but with his upbringing, he is able to defend himself. Anna Kendrick stars as Dana Cummings, whom Wolff meets when he gets hired for a job at the robotics firm. It turns out that Cummings had found a 61 million dollar discrepancy in the books. They work together trying to figure it out, which puts both of their lives in immediate danger. It seems as though she is one of the only people he gets along with. Although the movie might make you think it could be a budding relationship, it never happens. This movie was very entertaining and not like any other. I like the fact that it educates the audience on mental disorders such as autism and OCD. At the same time, it shows that people with metal disabilities have skills and talents that make up for their disorders. In this case, Wolff was a math genius and basically a hitman. Overall, I really enjoyed this movie and would recommend it to anyone who wants to watch something thought provoking.
