[QUOTE="ashdoc, post: 210948, member: 15932"] Ben Affleck plays an accountant who was diagnosed as autistic since childhood , but possesses extremely high intelligence . So high that he can account in a short time for internal embezzlement of money from enterprises that others would take a long time to unravel . He now works to do this job for criminals who need to keep tabs on their money and see if any from their organisations have embezzled money . But he donates his money for a neuroscience institute which handles autistic children like him---which means that he is a good man inspite of his criminal connections , establishing him as the hero of the film . His father was a military officer who was offered the chance to enrol his son to the same neuroscience centre he now donates to , but the father refused as he wanted his son to grow up facing the world rather than remaining sheltered from it . This led to Ben's mother being driven to abandon her family , and the only emotional attachment he had was to his brother . His father toughened him for physical combat since childhood , teaching him to fight bullies who picked on him . Cut to the present---J K Simmons plays director of financial crimes for treasury department , who forces Cynthia Addai-Robinson ( on pain of her criminal past being exposed ) to try to find out the identity of the accountant . But Ben has his own protector---an unknown 'voice' on phone that normally brokers the tasks given to him to track the embezzlement from criminal enterprises . This time the voice sends him to do the same task for a legitimate company , in order to keep Simmons and Cynthia off track in their pursuit of Ben . But Ben and that company's associate ( played by Anna Kendrick ) uncover a huge scam there too---which leads to a bloodbath.... If you think that the story is getting complicated , then it turns more complicated from here . Lots of twists and turns occur even as the action does hot up . Some of the twists and turns and coincidences are frankly unbelievable , and in the end the story does seem to be dragged too long . Towards the climax there is a lot of needless melodrama , like Ben's long lost brother suddenly being revealed as the long lost sibling . And the revelation of the identity of the 'voice' is too much to believe ; suffice to say that such things happen only in films . Ben acts in his usual way---with a deadpan expression on his face and with no emotion , which is what is expected from a person with autism . Anna Kendrick is sweet . Rest are all okay with their acting . Photography is decent , and so is background music . Colourwise the film is not that impressive . Action is what holds sway in the second half , and it is well pictured . Ben acts as an autistic action hero who is unbeatable in combat and may work for you if you like emotionless deadpan fighting machines without hypermuscled bodies of Stallones and Schwarzeneggers as actors . Verdict--decent Three stars [/QUOTE]
