The Accountant and Why Am I So Stubborn?

I’m sure it’s just a family trait passed down to me from generations prior but sometimes (a lot of times) I dig my feet in. It could be food or routines or, in this case, a movie. It’s been nearly 9 years since The Accountant was released and I just watched it for the first time last week. I split it up into two nights because who can watch a two-hour movie in one sitting, right?

I need my beauty sleep… even if I wake up dozens of times in the night– a topic for another post. My brother-in-law finally convinced me to give The Accountant a try because he wants to watch The Accountant 2 and now I do, too. I’ve discovered I don’t like psychological movies and forever (since 2016, at least) I thought The Accountant was that. I for sure don’t like movies about math! Is the climax going to be Christian Wolff successfully saving an Excel file? Oh wow, the entertainment there would be off the charts. OK, that’s my only accounting joke. I like action, I like romance, I like humor. All of that was well-executed (which is more than I can say for another recent watch: Another Simple Favor which, as I write here, was simply terrible).

I won’t be so stubborn this time around because I want to see what happens next with Christian Wolff– an awesome character with a lot of layers to peel back. If you’ve seen The Accountant 2, what do I have to look forward to? My stubborn personality could learn a lesson from all of this. Some things are worth checking out, even if it’s against my nature.
