				while back, I started to trust Ben Affleck, both as actor and director. 
				This tight thriller about a modern day vigilante is unique 
				and interesting. The premise, including Wolff's autism, is 
				brilliant. There is a strong supporting cast in Simmons, Bernthal and the 
				ever-delightful, and surprising, Anna Kendrick.
