| THE ACCOUNTANT movie poster |
The main character is Christian Wolff who we first see as a young boy diagnosed with something close to autism where he does not relate to people but is a whiz at math and puzzles. His mother wants to place him in a special school but his Army father refuses. We see the family fall apart due to the father's treatment of the 2 sons. Flash backs of the father's treatment of Christian and his brother, Braxton, are shown throughout the movie and one begins to see how his character was formed.
Being a mathematical wizard, Christian uses a small-town CPA office as a cover for how he really makes his living......and that is as an accountant extraordinaire for numerous dangerous criminals and thugs. But Christian is called in as a forensic accountant for a state-of-the-art robotics company. Large sums of money are missing and he is hired to find it. Assisting him is company junior accountant, Dana Cummings. She was the original whistle blower of the missing money. As Christian digs deeper into the company's financials, his employment is terminated and he becomes frustrated because he did not get to finish the job. Then one by one the top executives of the robotics company are killed and Christian knows that somehow "The Assassin", a notorious hitman is involved.
Also on Christian's trail is Treasury Agent Raymond King. He recruits Marybeth Medina, a young analyst to help him find The Accountant. King uses information he has obtained on Medina to ensure she completes the mission or face the end of her career.
With all the players on task, it becomes a race to see who finds who first and if the mastermind of the fraud is found.
This was a very interesting and action backed movie. Different parts of the plot are not revealed until towards the end of the movie and Dear Reader you know The Travelling Toe's lips are sealed.
