'The Accountant' is crackling, suspenseful thriller with suprising twists

THE ACCOUNTANT for WARNER BROS. According to "Box Office Mojo" that tracks box office receipts. "Accountant" has grabbed $63,350,482 as of Tuesday Nov. 1, 2016. It has reached $21,300,000 at the Foreign Box Office. The world-wide-total has climbed to $84,650,48. The production budget was $44 million.

Ben Affleck portrays Christian Wolff who was diagnosed as an autistic child. It turns out that he has a special gift with math and numbers. He's a genius. Him and his brother are taught by their dad to fight back because Christian is different. He is later investigated as an adult by a U.S., Treasury department boss. He doesn't know it and continues on being an accountant. He lands a job to look at the numbers within a robotics company worth millions of dollars. That is where he discovers that a man in that company was stealing money. Owners and employees begin to get killed off and Christian has to protect himself. He is an excellent gun sniper. 

I will not give anything away because it obviously goes deeper than just Christian being an accountant. There is a twist at the end of this film that floored me. When there is a twist I don't see coming. I absolutely love it. Some critics say, that at a certain point, the film slows down. Not for me. It concentrated on the main character of Christian and his complete story. Ben Affleck gives a fine performance and I was impressed with the action sequences which was a part of his character. It wasn't just action fighting.
