Hello All,
Sorry this took me so long, it’s been a rough couple of days. I think I’m just going to go straight to the review with this one, so let’s do this shall we?
Plot Summary - Christian Wolff (Ben Affleck) is an autistic mathematics savant, who works at a small town CPA office as a cover for his work for dangerous criminal organizations. When he takes on a legitimate client however and finds a discrepancy in their files, a bigger conspiracy begins to unravel.
Pros - Ben Affleck is great as Christian, and the rest of the cast is great as well. The film itself is interesting as it tries to be part mystery, part thriller, and part action film. It manages to find a pretty good balance between all these, while keeping them all interesting as well. It also avoids a few moments that could have been extremely cliche in these types of films.
Cons - That being said, there are few cliche moments. There’s also a few times you can see things coming also. As much as I like the different elements of this film, if you’re expecting more of one than another, you might be disappointed. The main plot of the story itself might also seem a bit simplistic at times.
Final Score - 8/10
I enjoyed this film quite a lot, and I do recommend seeing it sooner rather than later.
Next:……….. Yeah, so this was the only film around here that really came out this week. I’m going to try and find something, but I don’t know what it’ll be yet, so stay tuned.

Twitter Account is Here: You’ll get notices when the reviews are live as soon as I post them, plus any trailers, movie news, or updates on when I stream on Twitch. I’m always looking for new followers, and with more followers means more ways for you guys to contribute.
NEW!!! Suggestion Box is Here: Are you sick of gaps in my posts? Why not suggest a film or film series for me to watch? Suggestions will be completed in order received, and if you’d like to leave your name for a suggestion credit and anything you’d like me to promote (within reason) I’d be happy to do that too. This suggestion box will be a permanent fixture of the blog, as again I’d love any and all help you guys want to offer.
Twitch Channel is Here: I’ll admit, I don’t quite have a regular streaming schedule worked out, but if you follow either the Twitter account or the channel directly you will be notified whenever I go live.
Until next time, I’ll see you folks at the movies.
