Christian Wolff (Ben Affleck) is an accountant and assassin who has Asperger (or Autism). We get flashbacks to his unorthodox upbringing which shapes the person who he has become. Wolff works the books for unsavory characters who pay him in cash and gift items. He is called in to look at the books of Living Robotic by Lamar Black (John Lithgow). An anomaly has been discovered by his accountant Dana (Anna Kendrick is a geek role). The Deputy Director of the FBI, Ray King (J.K. Simmons) is looking for him and assigns the task to Medina (Cynthia Addai-Robinson) for reasons revealed at the end. As people around Living Robotic go down cold, things heat up.
The acting was top notch. The twist was expected and I wouldn't even call it a twist. Ben Affleck was superb in his role. Ray King, also famous for his Farmer's Insurance commercials borrows a line, "You don't see that everyday." The film has the right amount of comedy, drama, action, humor, and feel good moments. Wolff has that "Bourne" calculating sureness and trouble with metaphors. Might even watch this one again.
Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity
