Our take on The Accountant

Gavin O'Connor's 2016 thriller follows a math savant who keeps the books for dangerous clients, unraveling the accounts of a new one just as the Treasury Department starts closing in and bodies begin to pile up. It blends crime procedural with drama and hard-edged action, folding a portrait of a rigid, gifted outsider into a plot about hidden ledgers and pursuit. The result is a genre piece that rewards viewers who like methodical protagonists and a mystery that tightens as it goes. If you enjoy competent, unusual heroes and thrillers with a chilly precision, this fits; those seeking warmth or lightness should look elsewhere.
