The Accountant. Autism as a combat weapon.
This is a good one; worth your money. If you think (as I do) that Ben Affleck is a wooden actor, then you will find that this role is a perfect fit for him. It puts autism in a whole different light. He goes about his business with great droll responses, as you would expect, but also with dark and dry humor. He carries wit in his dialogue.
The film is basically a story on top of a story. As the surface plot develops, you get more information about the story you really want to know, which is where did this character, the accountant, come from? Its a brilliant story; different from any movie plot I'm familiar with.
As a high-functioning autistic person, the accountant is very good with numbers, which is the method he uses to work himself into some high-crime organizations; a position used to dismantle them from the inside.
How did he develop his combat skills? Where does his support and inside info come from? These and other questions come throughout the film as the plot develops linearly. You don't get all the background halfway through.
In fact, some of the convolution might pass you by in one sitting. This one might deserve a second viewing, which you can do when it rolls into cable later. Don't pay the theater twice, but do pay them once. This is a good film and a very clever story.
