This was an absolutely preposterous movie, it makes you wonder why they tried to sell it so hard as a serious thriller when it's closer to pure fukkery-fueled shyt like Lucy. Even the movie itself barely seems to take itself seriously with a lot of deadpan comedy regarding Ben Affleck's reactions to people ("ha ha, he reacts stoically and disinterested because he has autism, people!"). The plot is all over the place with a random robotic tech company taking center stage to a white washing scheme, who decide to hire a genius underworld accountant to fact check the books they themselves cooked (don't ask why they did that, even the main "villain" doesn't know), as each of the principal suspects get eliminated by a villainous black ops task force who never make it abundantly clear how they work exactly, but do have a steady supply of henchmen of all varieties, including men who disguise themselves as movers so they can kidnap people and transport them in wooden boxes (or at least attempt to), but do so while their partners, two tall, bulky guys in tailor-made suits guard the hallway, making you wonder what the hell the point is of the disguises for those other guys since anyone can tell those guys in the hallway are up to no good. Our genius autistic accountant meanwhile is of course being hunted by an elderly treasury agent heading for retirement, who blackmails a young upstart analyst to pretty much do the entire investigation for him or else he'll expose her criminal record. Before she solicited to the Treasury Department she was an analyst for both the Justice Department and Homeland Security, and the only explanation the movie cares to conjure up as to why neither institution found out about her criminal record (which includes attempted murder) is because those records "had been sealed".

If you then add Anna Kendrick's damsel-in-distress/sorta-intended-but-not-quite-love-interest who literally disappears for about an hour or so because the movie has no place for her, it's clear the writer was just throwing shyt at a wall. There's also a twist towards the end, one which would be obvious enough to most viewers even if the movie hadn't been directed by Gavin O'Conner, because anyone familiar with a certain recurring theme in his movies really shouldn't be surprised by this completely unnecessary reveal that actually kills any importance of the final climax. Like I said, it's simply a preposterous movie.

Not too make this flick seem too smart but u think all the random shyt going and plot was so the audience can view it thru an autistic lens? Cause that ending was def autistic and random. Like pow! See u next week nikka

Saw this this past Sunday with a full theatre and went in not expecting much. Very pleasantly suprisd and was very entertained. There might have been some preposterous elements, but not enough to detract from the pacing of the movie. I'd give it an 8.5.

Movie was entertaining. Affleck tends to deliver more often than not.

I just saw this I'd give it a 6/10 definitely called the twist about thirty minutes in the movie.

The only knowledge I gained from this shyt movie was Lewis Carroll was also a mathematician.


So glad I didn't see this bullshyt in the theater.
