(ESP-ENG) The Accountant | A different killer - Movie Review!
Hello friends, good vibes to all.
Just between yesterday and today the second part of this great classic is being released in theaters worldwide, one that to be honest I had not had the opportunity to see. Looking for options in theaters I realized that this second part was already in theaters so I decided to look for its predecessor to catch up. It has always been thought that Ben Affleck is not a good actor, people repeat that like parrots; personally I don't think that's the case, he may have been in bad movies but I don't consider him bad at his job. This character, Christian Wolff, is a rather complicated one to play and with whom I have a special “closeness”.
Christian is an accountant and a mathematical genius at the same time, he has a privileged mind. This is because he is a neurodivergent person, he is on the autistic spectrum which makes him very particular in his day to day life. But if that wasn't enough, he leads a kind of double life where he is dedicated to keeping the accounts of the most dangerous criminals and organizations in the world. Being so orderly, meticulous and obsessive has led him to be highly efficient, remember that autistic people have very peculiar characteristics and ways of behaving. Everything is going well for him until the U.S. Treasury Department decides to go after him and unmask him.

Another thing that stands out is its cast full of great actors. Anna Kendrick, Jon Bernthal, J.K. Simmons, John Lithgow, etc. All of them starring and giving very good performances. As I said, Affleck's role is brutal as he has to show a lot of skill when it comes to hand-to-hand combat and weapons handling, which he is known to have, while at the same time getting into the personality of an autistic person. When I commented on the “personal closeness” I meant that I have a cousin with Asperger's and I know perfectly what these people are capable of, I know how they act, how to control them, their manias, their “obsessions” so the way they capture it in this film is very faithful and realistic, they do it with great respect and precision so that it is understood that they are not a problem.
Anyway, this is a movie where plot twists are the order of the day. I was very surprised by the amount of things that are “under the carpet” and that were discovered as the plot unfolds. This is what I like the most because the unpredictability will always be seen with good eyes and it adds a lot of depth to the film. Great classic, I don't know how I hadn't seen it before or maybe I had but I genuinely don't remember it. I can understand why they did a sequel, it's not entirely open but they are characters that you can get more out of and especially the background of them and what they do. I give this one a 7.5/10. I didn't find it boring, it may have been a bit predictable at times but the action scenes and the cast makes up for all that. It lasts a little over two hours. I leave you the trailer below.
¡Un abrazo a todos, nos vemos en la próxima!
Well my people that's all for today, I hope you liked it.
¡A hug to everyone, see you next time!

Este tipo de películas son las que mantienen al espectador al borde la silla, es una buena premisa que además saca del estereotipo a los autistas. Muy buena reseña.
La verdad es que si, la película es muy top. La premisa es original, nunca esperas que una persona autista haga cosas así.
Saludos, gracias por la visita.
