“The Accountant,” (2016) May 20, 2017, DVD, home. The perfect film to watch on the day of the Bentley University commencement We both (and that is a surprise) enjoyed this Ben Affleck vehicle that asks and answers “what would Jason Bourne be like if he had savant skills and Asperger’s Syndrome?”. Is this Affleck’s response to the degraded Damen cycle?. He’s an accountant/stone cold killer with a super-developed moral sensibility, an art jones, amazing mathematical savant talents, no social skills, extreme levels of compulsion and an absolute need for physical hyper-stimulation. This was an interesting, if sometimes predictable drama with an excellent supporting cast featuring Anna Kendrick as a young math-geek accountant, JK Simmons as an established Treasury Department sleuth, Cynthia Addai-Robinson as a Treasury analyst, Jeffrey Tambor as a mob accountant/prison mentor, John Lithgow as a corporate entrepreneur, and John Bernthal as Affleck’s competitor in the dark arts of life and death. Rich back-stories to all. Affleck’s. Christian Wolf is hired to investigate monies that may be disappearing from a high-tech robotics and defense firm run by Lithgow. But who’s the criminal and what is the crime? I hope they don’t try to clone a series out of it.
