This film is about a highly impressive mathmatician who acts as an accountant but is secretly an agent and he makes his living as a freelance accountant for dangerous criminal organizations. He grew up being bullied for being different but proves the world wrong once they know about his success.
A scene that stood out to me was the “climax,” of the film. This was when Chris encounters Braxton for the first time in years. Braxton was on the manhunt to kill is enemy in the field of these criminal organizations and Braxton, being one of the biggest criminals. Chris was killing off everyone during the manhunt and those who attempted to stop him and Braxton is shown seeing everything Chris is doing through the security cameras and looking in awe at how impressive Chris’ technique was. These shots are close ups of Braxton with his mouth open staring at the screen, then back to Chris fighting to see what exactly Braxton was so amazed about. After Chris beats the biggest and most difficult enemy, there is a closeup of his face mouthing the nursery rhyme and at that moment there is a shot of Braxton mouthing the same words, this is when the audience as well as Braxton figures out that they are the brothers shown earlier in the film. This part consisted of many subjective shots and lacked variety, subjective shots were mainly used throughout the film to show expression, especially to Chris who shows very little expression and personality anyways. This film was overall great, but the ending was high disappointing. I was not satisfied, I felt like this film had no closure. This movie was awfully long too, but overall the idea was great. I fell in love with Chris’ character.
