This R-rated actioner is helmed by award-winning director Gavin O'Connor ("Tumbleweeds") and is based on a script by Bill Dubuque ("The Judge"). There is implied torture and some profanity, plus lots of creeping in hallways with guns, but we ALL have seen worse! The story and the characters carried the day.
Here is part of O'Connor's cast:
- Ben Affleck ("Batman") is Christian Wolff, our eponymous hero. Through flashbacks, we see how his career military father dealt with his son's Asperger's syndrome. It isn't easy to watch! The result is, our man cannot leave a project unfinished.
- Anna Kendrick ("Into the Woods") is Dana Cummings, the bookkeeper at his new employer's firm. She's really good with numbers... hmmm...maybe a bit too good.
- J.K. Simmonds ("La La Land") Director Raymond King claims he is nearing the end of a singularly dismal career at Treasury but he has his reputation to uphold, and maybe a tale to tell... There are no mysteries left except one: Who is The Accountant?
- Cynthia Addai-Robinson (LOTS of TV) Marybeth Medina
works as a Treasury agent, but she is being coerced to do more because
her talents shouldn't go to waste. Can she discover the identity of
The Accountant?
- John Lithgow ("The Crown") Lamar Black can't undo his decision to hire The Accountant, even though he may want to. His medical devices are revolutionizing the market for prosthetics.
- Jon Bernthal ("Daredevil") Braxton is there to protect his boss; but what if he understands all the issues?
- Jean Smart (Lots of TV) This former Seattle actress works all the time, and she's always good. This time she plays Rita Blackburn, an official for Black's medical device company.
