The Accountant, 2016
Starting Ben Affleck, Anna Kendrick, JK Simmons.
4/5
On its surface it's another 'regular joe is apparently a world class killer' type movie, but this one adds kind of a fun layer to it with Afflecks character suffering from Autism. Plus they go into detail as to how, and why, he became the mathematical genius accountant for the world's biggest and worst people. There's a lot going on in the movie, and more than one sub-plot going on even if you don't realize one of them till the end. Plus the ending has one twist that's kind of hinted at through the movie, but one that kinda comes out of left field that makes total sense looking back at the movie. Overall a great movie that doesn't hinge it's idea entirely on the action scenes, but also needs great storytelling to get the job done.
