Why Was 'The Accountant' Made?

Directed by Gavin O'Connor. Cinematography by Seamus McGarvey. Next time they should just shortened the credits to Ireland.  Gavin (no relation to the lead singer of Bush) directed the underrated 'Warrior' (2011). And Seamus (no relation to the WWE wrestler) directed 'Godzilla'.
Wolff, played by Ben Affleck, has an affinity for art. So it's apropos he's framed up as a living painting in the shot below. I wish this was a painting I could hang on my wall. Just Ben Affleck, eating bacon. 

This shot below is included in case Ron Swanson reads the blog. I'm surprised the character would overcook the pancakes. You'd think he'd have every cook time planned to the second.

There was never any doubt in my mind John Lithgow was the bad guy. What else would his character be? Remember how awesome he was on the show about the dude who was a serial killer and then became a lumberjack?

There's a motif of us viewing Wolff through blinds which fracture his image. This is a metaphor for his nature which is fractured between an emotionless exterior and a chaotic interior.

Number 14 of Pixar's rules of storytelling: "Why must you tell this story? What is the belief burning within you that your story feeds off?" From trying to implement those rules into my writing this seems to be the hardest rule to follow. I can come up with story ideas all day, but when I ask myself "Why must I tell this story" I often become flummoxed.
I don't know why 'The Accountant' was made. I guess it's an action vehicle for Affleck.  More so, it's an excuse for some cool gun-fu. Kinda like after the 'The Matrix' when they'd come up with similar action sequences and build a movie around them. Anna Kendrick's character could not have been drawn any thinner. The antagonists have the depth of a bumper-sticker and are run though like cheap kleenex. Before you care about any of them 2/3rds are dead.
'The Accountant' is a take it or leave it
