Ben Affleck | The Accountant

Having won the Best Original Screenplay in the Academy Award for the movie Good Will Hunting in 1997 — and at the same time having starred in it with Matt Damon, his childhood buddy—Ben Affleck gained a substantial degree of recognition in Hollywood. Among his top-grossing films is The Accountant, which earned Affleck a sizeable $14 million in 2016.

It is a story about a mathematics savant named Christian Wolff (Ben Affleck) who’s more naturally attuned to numbers than people. Wolff works as a freelance accountant for dangerous criminal organizations and uses a small-town CPA office as a cover. Cracks begin to show in Wolf’s cover, and Treasury director named Raymond King (J.K. Simmons) starts discovering his tracks. Wolff then takes a legitimate job from a robotics company, but as he gets closer to the truth about a discrepancy within the company that involved millions of dollars, the body count starts to pile up.
