Ben Affleck in The Accountant (2016)
Christian Wolff is a math savant with more affinity for numbers than people. Behind the cover of a small-town CPA office, he works as a freelance accountant for some of the world's most dangerous criminal organizations. With the Treasury Department's Crime Enforcement Division, run by Ray King, starting to close in, Christian takes on a legitimate client: a state-of- the-art robotics company where an accounting clerk has discovered a discrepancy involving millions of dollars. But as Christian uncooks the books and gets closer to the truth, it is the body count that starts to rise.

    • Trivia
      The paintings featured in the film are: "Woman with Parasol and Child" by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, 1874; "A Friend in Need" (Dogs Playing Poker) by Cassius Coolidge, 1903; and "Free Form" by Jackson Pollock, 1946.
    • Goofs
      The two people that Christian kills with his Barrett M82A1 .50 caliber rifle via head shots are only shown falling down with some blood splatter. In reality, bullets of that size would have completely blown their heads apart, as demonstrated earlier on in the movie when Christian is using cantaloupes as target practice for his Barrett on the Rices' farm.
    • Quotes

      Dana Cummings: What is this place?

      Christian Wolff: Panamerica Airstream, 34ft 7inches long, 8ft 5 inches wide. Dimensions which are perfectly adequate for one person. Preferable, even.

      Dana Cummings: This is where you live?

      Christian Wolff: No, I don't live here, this is a storage unit, that would be weird.

    Featured review

    Incredible.

    This film is utterly incredible. The acting is amazing, I loved the plot, the action was brilliant. As a person with autism I can say that Affleck portrayed autism perfectly, I don't understand why this film gets so much controversy. Every person with autism is different and acts different to one another. I never liked action films before this but this film is just so amazing and original that I came to like action films. I have watched this so many times and never get bored of it. I hope the sequel is as good as this, love to see more films like this. Would definitely recommend this film to anyone, no matter what genre they prefer. 10/10.
