Ambitious personal hero movie

At first I thought it was a bad movie from Big Ben. From the perspective of movie promotion and evaluation, this movie is a simple and easy-to-understand action movie. If this image is owned by Marvel, it is estimated that this is also a big accountant movie, and you will not remember it after watching it. I can't tell the accountant's face. Because he doesn't have a bright uniform.
The character setting of Big Ben is also very close to all kinds of heroes. No wonder some people say that this is a Batman spinoff movie. This guy is too similar to Batman. They are all mortal bodies, with huge wealth, and a high-tech behind-the-scenes advisor. The dialogue in the car is almost back to the stage of "Knight Rider". At this point in the movie, I still think this is a superhero movie with popcorn and Coke.
But as the film progresses, the film's ambition slowly emerges. A very big sign is that the supporting characters of the film all refuse to be facialized. Silly white sweet little girl, this is enough silly white sweet from the appearance, but this little girl is brave and independent. The black female detective is simply a copy of the Silence of the Lambs. It's full of drama. Even Da Ben's behind-the-scenes staff, a female character whose only voice is invisible, is flesh and blood.
Only then did I know that the movie was going to do something big.
The movie hides baggage everywhere, starting with the footage of the Hospital for Children with Autism. Towards the end of the movie, the grievances and entanglements of several characters were revealed one by one. Although it is essentially a personal hero movie, the subtle characterization of each supporting role and several plot lines go hand in hand to make the plot of the movie more three-dimensional, and the understanding of this character is more in place.
Doctor Strange, which was released some time ago, obviously couldn't do this, although he carefully portrayed the background of his life.
The complex plot makes the movie more watchable. The participation of an old drama bone, the white old man, as the teacher of the burst drummer, as the role of film acting, almost made up for the lack of film acting skills with his personal strength.
Overall, this low-key movie completed a counterattack in the quality of the movie. Maybe invest some more money in the film scene, this film may become a classic blockbuster. But without that little money, this movie with a complicated plot can only be a more plot-oriented action movie.

The Accountant quotes

  • Dana Cummings: What is this place?

    Christian Wolff: Panamerica Airstream, 34ft 7inches long, 8ft 5 inches wide. Dimensions which are perfectly adequate for one person. Preferable, even.

    Dana Cummings: This is where you live?

    Christian Wolff: No, I don't live here, this is a storage unit, that would be weird.

  • Brax: When you interrupt somebody like that, it makes them feel that you're just not interested in what they have to say. Or maybe you think what you have to say is just more important that what I have to say. Is that what you think?
