The Accountant

Review

Autist boy who have grown mostly with his father who have made his career in army have have become an accountant. He is very good in numbers as well as with guns and violence, but his social skills are lacking. He normally gets jobs from criminals but this time his job seems to be different at least at first. The more he investigate numbers and money usage of that firm the more he finds out that not everything is as clean as it should be and the suspect of misappropriation is not the real criminal but instead somebody else is behind missing money. Events turns violent and many lose their lives when the criminals gets punished.

This was quite surprising movie on some levels. It was interesting to see autistic main character as a hero or a villain, depending your point of view and it was also refreshing how it didn't stigmatize autistic persons. Instead, it gave realistic perspective of the differences of autistic persons and others and the challeneges they have.

There were quite lots of violence but it was still well balanced. Story were built well, characters were interesting and the whole pace of the movie was working well. For me this was worth the watch.
