The Accountant evaluation action

"Accounting Assassin" uses an outdated way to present an outdated protagonist in an outdated Hollywood action movie, and then uses outdated remarks to emphasize the difference.
The role played by Ben Affleck is a more perfect math geek genius because of autism. The whole concept is uncomfortable on many levels, especially to serve such a low-level crime story. It is painful to watch. 
The film bases the old-fashioned action movie elements on an unreliable synopsis, which is a bit confusing. It either makes you angry or makes you laugh.
Driven by the protagonist of the film, the audience can find laughs and excitement, and the rarer thing is that after watching the film, they actually look forward to its sequel.
The problem with the film lies in the ending part. Affleck's social phobia and computational talent as a sharpshooter in the film surprised me, but the whole storyline became unreasonable in the last scene.
A large part of the film is still watchable and has the temperament of a high-quality action film, but in the end it was reduced to a laughable failure, which can be said to be a waste of two hours for the audience.

The Accountant quotes

  • Christian Wolff: Solomon Grundy, Born on a Monday, Christened on Tuesday, Married on Wednesday, Took ill on Thursday, Grew worse on Friday, Died on Saturday, Buried on Sunday. That was the end, Of Solomon Grundy.

  • Ed Chilton: Now, Mr. Wolff, I half suspect we're wasting your time.

    Christian Wolff: I'm quite sure you're not.

    Ed Chilton: And you know this how?

    Christian Wolff: I'm on the clock.

    Ed Chilton: [Small laugh] Well, I hope we're not wasting ours, then. Look, kidding aside, I think if you saw our books you'd run for the hills. We have an incredibly complicated accounting system. Depreciation schedules on hundreds of different items. Full-time and contract employees. Department of Defense classified accounts. It's a numerical nightmare.

    Christian Wolff: I'll need to see all those books for the past ten years. Bank statements, complete list of clients and vendors. Hard copies printed out, my eyes only. All the information's right here.

    [Slides over folded paper]

    Ed Chilton: Okay, well, well, look. This all came to my attention only last week. Now, a junior cost accountant stuck her nose where it didn't belong and obviously had no idea what she was looking at. Lamar is overreacting. There's no missing money.

    Christian Wolff: How long have you been CFO of this company, sir?

    Ed Chilton: Fifteen years.

    Christian Wolff: I need the books for the past fifteen, please.

    Ed Chilton: Well you're awful goddamn blunt!
