This has somehow ended up as a bit of a rainy-day movie for me -- just as good the third (fourth?) time around.

Film Illiterate, wherein the proprietor records movies seen, and sporadic progress through assorted lists of the "best". Originally started after regretfully renting something forgettable for the third time. I've forgotten what, but never again! A tedious endeavour since 2005. Hello. 🙂

I genuinely don't know why I enjoy this so much, but watched in part this time because of friends recently ranting about how dreadful it is. I can see that if you don't buy the premise then it goes from bad to worse, but I love it unashamedly!
Another comfort-rewatch while down with the flu. Apparently a sequel is in the works!
Autistic savant "Christian Wolff" is the accountant the criminal elite call in to audit their cooked books, and he's stayed alive by also being a ruthless and efficient combatant (maths and violence hand in hand, like Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes). With the heat on, he takes an innocent gig...
Easily one of the best action movies of recent years, with an interesting protagonist in Affleck and twists that surprise by coming where most screenwriters wouldn't bother -- throwaway side-plots given unexpected depth and heart.
