Movie "The Accountant"

I give it a "C" rating. Yeah, it had some good action scenes, but the development of Ben Affleck's character was not well done. How did he get to be both brilliant and a mental case? Oh, he was born that way.
How did he get to be a super-killer?
Way too late in the movie we see flashbacks to his Army father making him take martial arts classes.
(Where he learned to shoot like John Wayne, or John Wick, I still don't know).
Anna Kendrick is a favorite actress of mine, but she was wasted in this role. She was just a damsel in distress, with only a few lines and no real "role" in the movie other than to show that the killing machine had feelings, too.
That role could have and should have gone to a lesser-known actress, to help build her career.
Anna's career is going to take a hit from her appearance in this movie.

Do you remember her character, the young whistleblower who set in motion the chain of events that led to the uncovering of the fraud?
