Who wants to watch a movie about accurate accounting?


The accounting scenes were the best part

I’ve never seen it - need to watch it - just watched Changing Lanes again - that’s such a well written movie

Fun movie but that all-nighter scene where he's mumbling accounting terms to himself makes me laugh my arse off because as complicated as it would sound to the general public, it is actually really basic, Accouting 101-level stuff he's reciting. He's doing like a month's worth of expert-level corporate consulting work in one night yet he doesn't know any accounting terms beyond juco-level EBITDA shite?

That and I'm pretty sure that the subtitles during a phone call scene accidentally spoil a minor plot twist about an hour before it's supposed to be revealed.

Careful, you are treading on millennial nostalgia. She has a pointy pinched face and is not a great actress either.


I had no idea this board loved her so much. She’s shaped weird, with a mousy face and an annoying voice.

Which part?

You don't do a month's worth of forensic accounting in one night?
You don't get new whiteboard markers and write all over windows?
You can hit the trash can when you throw them?
You can't find the missing money?

Not sure why I like this movie so much, but I do. Ana Kendrick is a decent actress, but not sure why she gets so much love.

Like the card counting scene in Rain Man.

And it’s strange that someone who held a 6/4 (10) vs. a dealer 4 and needed a little reassurance to double down on it knows anything about card counting.
