NOW PLAYING

“The Accountant” **1/2

Ben Affleck is a high-functioning math savant and loner who finds solace in ritual, patterns and finishing his tasks. He leads an unassuming life in Illinois as a strip mall accountant, but his unique gifts allow him a lucrative side hustle as a forensic accountant for “some of the scariest people on the planet,” putting the Treasury Department hot on his trail, sending him on the run with an innocent co-worker (Anna Kendrick) and bringing out his facility at self-defense. Directed by Gavin O’Connor. (R, 2:08)

“Deepwater Horizon” ***

An effects-driven disaster movie starring Mark Wahlberg as Mike Williams, the real-life technician who saved several lives when the Deepwater Horizon oil rig exploded in April 2010. John Malkovich is the bottom line-obsessed BP executive who orders workers to ignore tests of the rig since they’re weeks behind schedule. The film is not a nuanced documentary about the worst ecological disaster in U.S. history, but it portrays its heroes as relatable, and the effects are spectacular. Directed by Peter Berg. Imax 2-D. (PG-13, 1:47)

“Denial” ***

A movie about a real-life libel case involving a Holocaust denier, British historian David Irving, and his critic, American scholar Deborah Lipstadt, “Denial” is a miniature tour of the British legal system, and for American viewers, it’s surprisingly interesting. Timothy Spall plays Irving as a theatrical character, complex and fun to watch though not consistent with the real-life Irving, who can be charming. Rachel Weisz’s Lipstadt has conviction, passion and galvanizing outrage. For a Jewish academic, this was no intellectual exercise, and likewise Weisz assures us that “Denial” is no routine movie for a Jewish actress. Directed by Mick Jackson. Rated PG-13 (1:10)

“The Girl on the Train” ***

A recently divorced young woman (Emily Blunt) fantasizes about a perfect couple she sees during her daily commute. But after a drunken binge, she gets embroiled in a mystery involving the disappearance of the woman, Megan. The story is told from multiple points of view, with excellent performances by Blunt, Haley Bennett as Megan and Allison Janney as the salty detective investigating the case. Directed by Tate Taylor. (R, 1:52)

“I’m Not Ashamed” Not reviewed

Faith-based drama inspired by the life of Rachel Scott, the first victim of the 1999 Columbine (Colo.) High School massacre. (PG-13, 1:52)

“Jack Reacher: Never Go Back” **1/2

Tom Cruise resurfaces as the ex-military cop who roams the land solving crimes, exacting justice, and calling the current commanding officer of his old unit, Susan Turner (Cobie Smulders) to complain about it. When she’s arrested for espionage, he goes into full Reacher mode to free her and uncover a shady arms deal, while dealing with an eye-rolling teenager Samantha (Danika Yarosh) who might be his daughter. The Reacher character is simply a vehicle for Cruise’s star strengths — his physicality, his laconic, twitchy charm and his dogged pursuit of righteousness. The film is the kind of action flick where the simpler moral story sits on top of the twistier but essentially unimportant plot. Directed by Edward Zwick. Rated PG-13 (1:58)

“Kevin Hart — What Now?” **1/2

In this concert movie filmed before 50,000 people at a Philadelphia stadium, Hart shows maturity in his material, joking about his family, fiancee and his life as a movie star. The humor, as it always has, revolves around Hart’s slightly bratty self-preservation instincts. Directed by Leslie Small, the film never feels static, with multiple cameras capturing the crowd and Hart’s every expression, moving along at such a clip you almost wish it would slow down for a moment. (R, 1:36)

“Keeping Up with the Joneses” **

In concept, this film has a lot going for it: Zach Galifianakis as fuddy-duddy suburban dad Jeff Gaffney; the delightfully unhinged Isla Fisher as his wife, Karen; Jon Hamm and wonder woman Gal Gadot as their new supersexy spy neighbors, Tim and Natalie Jones. Gender dynamics are at play here, with both Tim and Jeff being sensitive partners, while the women take to ferocious warrior roles. And for the Gaffneys, the Joneses are the kick in the pants to their marriage they didn’t even know it needed. The problem is the chemistry of the performers doesn’t work. The editing is awkward, the pacing off. The story takes too long to get to where it intends to: Average couple is thrown into a dangerous and action-packed arms deal. Rated PG-13 (1:41)

“Kubo and the Two Strings” ****

With the help of his magical stringed instrument, a boy (voiced by Art Parkinson) encounters an enchanted monkey (voiced by Charlize Theron) and beetle (voiced by Matthew McConaughey) who help him to heal a long-ago rift and reunite his family. In this animated fantasy steeped in ancient Japanese folklore, magic is both an eye-popping phenomenon and an everyday reality. Directed by Travis Knight. (PG, 1:41) At Dole Cannery

“The Magnificent Seven” **1/2

Townsfolk hire a septet of outlaws to defend them against a malevolent industrialist in this revision of the 1960 classic Western, based on Akira Kurosawa’s “Seven Samurai.” With Denzel Washington, Chris Pratt, Ethan Hawke, Haley Bennett and Peter Sarsgaard. Directed by Antoine Fuqua. Imax 2-D. (PG-13, 2:12)

“Max Steel” Not reviewed

In this action movie based on the Mattel action figures, a teenage misfit (Ben Winchell) and an extraterrestrial discover that together they form the world’s most powerful superhero. With Maria Bello and the voice of Josh Brener. Written by Christopher L. Yost. Directed by Stewart Hendler. (PG-13, 1:32)

“Miss Hokusai” **1/2

This is an unusual, visually adventurous animated feature, but it tells the story of a real person, O-Ei (voiced by Anne Higashide), daughter of legendary painter and woodblock artist Hokusai, best known for images like “The Great Wave” (on display at the Honolulu Museum of Art). Based on a celebrated manga, it details her artistic and personal evolution, surprising us with different emotional tones, ranging from the sinister and supernatural to the unapologetically sexual and sweetly sentimental. (PG-13. 1:30) At Kahala

“Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children” **

A young boy (Asa Butterfield) discovers a fantastical place where the residents possess special powers and danger lurks deep. With Eva Green, Chris O’Dowd, Allison Janney and Rupert Everett. Based on the novel written by Ransom Riggs. Directed by Tim Burton. (PG-13, 2:07)

“Ouija: Origin of Evil” **

What’s unexpected in “Ouija: Origin of Evil” is how character-driven, well-acted and unusually well-written this sequel is, as the film winds back to the events that generated the first “Ouija” movie. Sisters Paulina (Annalise Basso) and Doris (Lulu Wilson) Zander and mom Alice (Elizabeth Reaser) were once close-knit, but beloved Dad died not long ago and the clan is running a fortune-telling scam to pay the bills. One of those wacky Ouija boards gets brought into the action and malevolence ensues. Directed by Mike Flanagan. Rated PG-13 (1:10)

“Queen of Katwe” ***

Chess transforms the world of a young Ugandan girl (Madina Nalwanga), who rises from the slums when a missionary (David Oyelowo) teaches her the game and encourages her to follow her dreams. With Lupita Nyong’o. Written by William Wheeler. Directed by Mira Nair. (PG, 2:04) At Dole Cannery, Kahala and Pearlridge West

“Storks” **1/2

Animated adventure in which the long-legged birds deliver packages for an internet giant, until one of them inadvertently activates a dormant Baby Making Machine. With the voices of Andy Samberg, Kelsey Grammer and Katie Crown. Written by Nicholas Stoller. Directed by Stoller and Doug Sweetland. (PG, 1:29)

“The Third Party” Not reviewed

Romantic drama starring Angel Locsin as Andi, a woman who wants to patch things up with ex-boyfriend Max (Sam Milby), although he’s in a relationship with Christian (Zanjoe Marudo). Then Andi discovers she’s pregnant, and the men offer to adopt her baby. Directed by Jason Paul Laxamana. In Filipino with English subtitles. (Not rated, 2:00) At Pearlridge West

“Tyler Perry’s Boo! A Madea Halloween” **1/2

Perry plays three characters in this film, which features ghosts, goblins, demented clowns, zombies and, most frightening of all, teenagers. At times, the acting feels too big and stagy for cinema, as if the actors are trying too hard to capture the energy of a live play on film. Some scenes are too long, and some of the writing feels cheesy. Nonetheless, with “Boo!” you’ll laugh hard. (PG-13, 1:43)
