The Accountant –Trailer #2

submitted by newtboy

8 years 4 months 3 weeks ago

Christian Wolff (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.

Looks real good. I like Ben's serious acting style. Hated his comedic roles.

That said, god I hate the suicide squads promos with the queen song, it simply does NOT fit!

Love me some Olafur.

Actually kinda like the look of this. Ben Affleck tho.

Ah, yes. Another instance of the clear "whiteboard" movie trope.

They are a horrible idea and don't work in real life; but they do allow for the camera to capture the writing and the faces of the actors at the same time.

There are some places that do use the clear boards, but I agree they are pretty impractical IRL.
And why wouldn't an accountant just be using Excel (or similar), instead of writing columns of numbers on a board? Even if this savant character never makes a math error, it takes way longer just writing everything down rather than keying it in.
A physicist or mathematician solving very long equations makes sense to use whiteboard or chalkboard, but not an accountant.

Ah, yes. Another instance of the clear "whiteboard" movie trope.

Also, this kinda feels like Affleck trying to be Damon - it's a mashup of Good Will Hunting and the Bourne trilogy -

Good Bourne Hunting

Autistics are the new sexy.
