Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Ben Aflleck's 2016 movie The Accountant is currently trending on Netflix despite not receiving the greatest reviews. The action-crime conspiracy thriller stars the Academy Award-winning writer/director as Christian Wolff, a highly intelligent freelance accountant who also happens to be a math genius. Based on the premise alone, The Accountant appears to be a compelling and unique take on the action-thriller genre.
Critics of The Accountant, on the other hand, are mostly conflicted about the convoluted plot despite a great performance from Affleck. Audiences generally are not as concerned about the "messy" narrative as critics are and celebrate the original and intellectual concept of The Accountant, which is also paired effectively with heavy doses of intense thrills and action.
Peter Travers of Rolling Stone expertly sums up the most pervasive criticism of The Accountant, "Affleck plays a math wiz whose position on the autism spectrum allegedly makes him a perfect assassin. That notion is offensive on so many levels, especially in the service of such low-grade crime fiction, that it's painful to watch." Outside of this glaring critique, some critics were dissatisfied with The Accountant's unfulfilled plotlines and predictable twists.
