What if Jason Bourne had a severe case of OCD? The new thriller stars Affleck as a quiet man with a secret identity. After a childhood marked by tragedy, he travels the world honing his combat skills and has a home fortress with an arsenal of guns and gizmos. Despite the parallels with a certain Dark Knight, Affleck never quite settles into the role of a quiet, obsessive actuary with a hidden life in The Accountant. With torturous origin stories, scatterbrained plot and a lead role that feels like an uncomfortable fit, The Accountant is implausible — and yet also entertaining in a junky, pulpy, plot-twisty kind of way, says CBC's Eli Glasner.
