The Accountant

[singularity6]

I watched The Accountant (with Ben Afleck) with my wife a couple weeks ago, and thought I should recommend it here. If you're not familiar, it involves an accountant by the name of Chris Wolf who is on the high-functioning side of the autism spectrum, and moonlights as a bit of a vigilante/rogue super hero. It is an action flick, so some suspension of disbelief is required. Overall, I found it to be a very entertaining movie, and it shines the spotlight on autism, which the general public could use some more awareness on.

I enjoyed it as well

I just watched this movie last night, with the thought that we might check out the sequel that was recently released. One scene shows Affleck's overbearing father forcing a man to run aggressive fight drills against him and his brother, who are just kids. With the captions on, one interesting thing popped up. When the man spoke, he was attributed as "silat instructor."

Wait until you watch The Accountant 2; great sequel.
