Ben Affleck turns the world's most boring job on its head
Christian Wolff (Ben Affleck) is your average, run of the mill maths genius... except of course he isn't.
Being better with numbers than with people, Wolff works as an accountant which covers for his real job as the man who cooks the books and launders cash for the biggest criminal organisations in the world.
As the Treasury Department’s Crime Enforcement Division led by Ray King (JK Simmons) close in on him, Wolff goes after a state–of–the–art robotics company where junior accounting clerk (Anna Kendrick) has discovered a disparity involving millions of dollars. However as he begins to get closer to the truth, chaos breaks loose.

The Accountant will be released to cinemas November 4
