\"new-releases-the-accountant-movie-poster\"1. The Accountant (Warner Brothers, 3,332 Theaters, 128 Minutes, Rated R for strong violence and language throughout, Rotten Tomatoes Tomatometer at press time: 48% fresh<\/a> [90 Reviews]): <\/strong>I believe I might owe you an apology. I listed this film as one of the fall films to look forward to last month<\/a>, but I really didn’t know that much about it.<\/p>\n

I was going by a synopsis of the film, where it presented the film as an autistic accountant who worked for some dangerous people but was trying to make a fresh start. I thought that would have been a pretty interesting premise for a thriller.<\/p>\n

I should have watched the trailer because he is in fact an autistic assassin accountant. That turns what I thought was an interesting premise on its ear, and not in a good way. Now, its a conventional action movie with a quirky twist. That’s much less impressive.<\/p>\n
