When last we saw Ben Affleck he was portraying the grimmest, darkest version of Batman -- and that's saying something! But now, along with Anna Kendrick , J.K. Simmons , Jon Bernthal , and Cynthia Addai-Robinson , he stars as The Accountant . Is this a step-down? A lateral move? A step up?

Using a small-town CPA office as a cover, he makes his living as a freelance accountant for dangerous criminal organizations.

As Wolff gets closer to the truth about a discrepancy that involves millions of dollars, the body count starts to rise."
