Christian Wolff leads a quiet life. He helps others with their taxes in his small firm and goes home to his quiet house where he eats alone, goes to bed, then wakes up and does it all again. This is what any neighbor may believe. However this is far from the truth and members of the U.S. treasury department on are onto him as they notice his familiar face in several high case dealings with global accounts of high end bad guys. Christian is a wiz at math, there is no doubt about that, so leave it to him to crack an impossible funding leak in a huge corporation which leaves him and his new accomplice on the hit list of someone who'd din't want to be discovered leaking money. So now we've got the U.S. Treasury after him as well as trained hit men. In a typical scenario, this may seem like a scenario where our guy does not make it out alive, but I am here to tell you that our friend Christian is nowhere near typical. Traveling from base to base with his military father who had him trained by several in mastering the arts of fighting and self-control, Christian doesn't need help when it comes to killing the enemy. The problem is, will he be able to save his friend/love interest in time or will it be too late?
This movie received a whopping 49% on Rotten Tomatoes and 7.9 on IMDB. I would give it a solid 8/10 myself. It had the perfect amount of twists and turns to keep you entertained and each character had such a compelling backstory that led them to where we meet them in the film. The acting crew was strong with my fav Anna Kendrick and a wonderful performance by J.K. Simmons (for you younger crowd readers- think the Dad from Juno). I highly recommend it for both its entertainment value as well as the complexity it offers. Lots of depth and a great plot.
