關於這部電影

Christian Wolff (Ben Affleck) is a math savant with more affinity for numbers than people. Behind the cover of a small-town CPA office, he works as a freelance accountant for some of the world’s most dangerous criminal organizations. With the Treasury Department’s Crime Enforcement Division, run by Ray King (J.K. Simmons), starting to close in, Christian takes on a legitimate client: a state-of-the-art robotics company where an accounting clerk (Anna Kendrick) has discovered a discrepancy involving millions of dollars. But as Christian uncooks the books and gets closer to the truth, it is the body count that starts to rise.

評分和評論

It's not often that I feel like I don't want to watch a scene, but that desensitisation and the shin stick ... oh! Wonderful storytelling in the flashbacks, just the right balance to create empathy. Thoroughly respectful to the neurodevelopmental theme and an interesting choice not to make Wolffe the subject of the usual piteous, "not his fault" stereotype. First rate performances in both the awkwardness of the social interactions and the detachment amidst the violence. Best line, "what's the plan ... and shoot them in the head". I got the second twist early, but not the first one! Well written and rarely for movies, a good ending.

Great film! The end really drives home the point of family first and how he does this despite being socially handicapped (kinda). Also shows a different side of autism in that it isnt always a set back and a bad thing. Didnt expect much when i started but it was really good! Didnt pay for it watched it on nowtv...🖕🖕

Sadly very overrated, that's 2 hours off my life I'm never getting back. I really don't see it got as good a score as it did. The end plot is terribly predicable and totally unbelievable (in a bad way!)
