Director O’Connor has factored in mathematics too to give us a hero who multiplies numbers as fast as he eliminates people, who beats himself literally to sleep while gazing upon a Pollack fixed on the ceiling.

Like WoIff, if you as intrigued by incongruity and inconsistencies in people’s behaviour, you will love this wonderfully made thriller, that unfolds like an enchanting fictional puzzle.

Gavin O’Connor has been so detailed in his filmmaking process. If you are aware of OCD or suffer one yourself, you would find some more solace in this, and perhaps your friends would be able to understand why you behave like you behave.

The Accountant is an out-and -out action film and action film buffs won’t be disappointed by the use of heavy duty guns and armour piercing bullets which turn the climax into a veritable battlefield. The lost and found premise in the end adds just the nice emotional touch to the heavy duty action.

The runtime feels overly long while incoherence looms large due to O’Connor’s over zealous efforts to contextualize. But for the actors and their heavy-duty efforts this would be just another jaded wearisome actioner!

Ben Affleck rocks it with changing between a common accountant who is brilliant and a trained assassin who is equally brilliant. Watch it for all the answers to the questions and all the solutions to the puzzles. Everything is so well-made that you won’t go home with any pending questions!

As is only expected of a film that deals with a disorder, a narrator explains at the end that autism—which is what Chris supposedly suffers from—affects a sizeable percentage of the population, and tries to encourage sensitivity towards the condition. But considering that Affleck’s character almost romanticises it as a superpower, the narrator may well have not bothered.

It’s an unusual thriller – the body count is high, and the kills are straight from a video game – and has its fair share of flaws, but it’s far more compelling than it possibly had any right to be with its mixed bag of number crunching and bone crunching.
