About this movie

Christian Wolff (Ben Affleck) 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 (J.K. Simmons), starting to close in, Christian takes on a legitimate client: a state-of-the-art robotics company where an accounting clerk (Anna Kendrick) 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.

Ratings and reviews

This is by far the worst movie I've seen this year. Really cringe worthy. I normally don't write reviews for movies and just move on but if this saves even one person $5 on renting it then I am glad to help. The acting from Ben Affleck is truly awful. The FBI computer sequences are just so beyond bad it's not even fair to call them realistic in any sense. The action sequences are well done but really few and far between. It is mostly just cringey dialogue and Ben Affleck misrepresenting a behavioral disorder. See John Wick if you're looking for action or see Jason Bourne if you want a action thriller.

wish this could have been more like the movie A Beautiful Mind. Where Ben Affleck can actually overcome personal obstacles regarding mental illness and combine the violence and technique strategies but his lifestyle. List movie was okay not great.The black lady detective and ben afflecks brother are main supporting characters.. they suck. C LIST ACTORS.

0/10 If I could leave no stars I would. If you are on the autism spectrum, or you love someone on the autism spectrum, this is NOT the movie for you. It's Rain Man with; guns, a normal passing protagonist, a "twist" you can see coming a mile away, lame fights we all have seen before(and seen done better) and according to this movie you can beat the autism out of your kid. The child abuse plays a big part in this movie, and of course it's portrayed as "good" for the children.
