Film creators cannot credit exemplary reviews as the reason for the huge box-office turn out as "The Accountant" merely got an average 52 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes. However, moviegoers seem to disagree with the critics' ratings as a survey among the audience done during the opening night saw the movie flaunting a Cinema A score.

In this Warner Bros. film, Ben Affleck brings life to the character of Christian Wolf, a math wizard who secretly works for notorious criminal organizations worldwide. When he accepted an assignment for a robotics firm, he discovered a million-dollar discrepancy which will put his life in danger. "The Accountant" is directed by Gavin O'Connor and aside from Ben Affleck also stars Anna Kendrick, Cynthia Addai- Robinson, and J.K. Simmons.
