Seemingly conceived and made by people who forgot an audience needs to watch it, The Accountant has its narrative split between the mysterious exploits of Ben Affleck's Batman-with-Asperger-Syndrome, Christian Wolff (an unlikely mix of Clark Kent nerdiness, Batman solemnity and Jason Bourne machismo), and the efforts of a government agent hot on his tail trying to catch up on everything we the viewers already know or can guess about Wolff from the beginning: that Professor Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters has untapped the mutant accounting skills of this man who now tows around a stainless steel Airstream batcaravan freelancing as a bookkeeper for dangerous gangbangers who mustn't realise he has a propensity to turn around and take out entire criminal entourages with his assault weapons....did I understand that right?
