The Good, the Bad and the Human Calculator:

• The film starts slow and simple, but builds up well, and as the story progresses, things become more and more interesting.

• Ben Affleck is way more likeable in this movie than the one where he plays a certain Dark Knight.

• His strong performance is both engaging and mesmerising, backed by a solid script.

• The film has quite a lot of flashbacks where the story constantly jumps from the past to the present without warning, but the transitions are fluid.

Trivia:

• Anna Kendrick's mother is a real accountant, so she plays her role based on her mother.
