Dana Cummings: What do you have to hit to dent a steel thermos?
Ummmmm what...? Too many concepts man. and then the reveal at the end. Just way too much going on. Oh and the motivations of everyone are unclear.
Each idea could have been a serviceable movie....but together it's just a jumble of blerghhh
Movie 1: The FBI is on the hunt for an accountant to the world's villains. -Just that. Works.
Movie 2: Two brothers are brutalized by their father into viscous mercenaries. One has an ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder). They are separated and then face off years later in Spy vs Spy scenario. -again works.
Movie 3: New Accountant at a firm unearths financial shenanigans in prep for public offering. The management responds with deadly force.
Movie 4: Accountant to the world's villains has had enough and turns the table since he/she knows their secrets and sins.
So yeah...The Accountant fails to accomplish any of the above, and thus isn't really worth watching in comparison to innumerable shoot em ups, action films, and thrillers.
2.1 out of 5 stars.
