Christian Wolff (Ben Affleck) is a mathematics savant with more affinity for numbers than people. Using a small-town CPA office as a cover, he makes his living as a freelance accountant for dangerous criminal organizations. With a Treasury agent (J.K. Simmons) hot on his heels, Christian takes on a state-of-the-art robotics company as a legitimate client. As Wolff gets closer to the truth about a discrepancy that involves millions of dollars, the body count starts to rise.

Critics Consensus

The Accountant writes off a committed performance from Ben Affleck, leaving viewers with a scattershot action thriller beset by an array of ill-advised deductions.

The Accountant is messier than its multitude of gunshot wounds to the head.

Unfortunately this one runs out of steam and becomes more of a shoot now, ask questions later (or never) flick.

At least, in its determinedly populist way, this violent character study makes you think.

“The Accountant” is like McDonalds. It is not good or good for you, but you still eat it up.

The Accountant is a ridiculous movie with at least one subplot too many and a genuine murkiness about why, after all this, Christian Wolff wants to launder money for a living.

Filme bom, mas o Wolff não toma um tiro sequer, não conta a história de como os dois irmãos se separaram e nem como Wolf começou a trabalhar com a outra garota. Falta final no filme, espero encontrar na parte 2

Well written and acted with an interesting premise. The combination of great action with a plot that kept me watching every minute iced the cake.

Surprisingly threads various storylines in a compelling way. Great chemistry from Anna and Ben. Nice twist at the end.
