To complete the effects work, Neufeld assembled a team of artists from Worldwide FX, as well as specialised freelancers brought on board for shots of a ‘God Killer’ weapon and views of the supposed penitentiary that Milton escapes from.Īt one point in the film, The Accountant catches up with Milton, who fires on but only slightly injures his pursuer with an ancient-looking weapon – the God Killer – that was stolen from hell. Each of those little moments is an effect which leads up to the end of the film.” What ensues are lots of little looks of the powers that might be unleashed from hell, but only hints. “The visual effects in the movie,” says Neufeld, “for 15 to 30 seconds at a time and at various places, are designed to reveal that Milton is no ordinary escaped convict and The Accountant is somewhat other-worldly. Many of the film’s 520 effects shots were made up of foreground and background stereo composites, with early one-off shots designed to hint at the film’s supernatural elements. Along the way, Milton is pursued by The Accountant (William Fichtner), an equally mysterious player in this journey. We learn that a penitentiary Milton escapes from early in the film is in fact hell, as he seeks out members of a cult who murdered his daughter and now threaten to kill his granddaughter. Neufeld describes the visual effects in Drive Angry as “sudden and colossal”, noting that at first the audience is given only very brief moments or hints that the main character, Milton (Nicolas Cage), may be more than what he seems.
