Storyline;

Christian Wolff 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, starting to close in, Christian takes on a legitimate client: a state-of-the-art robotics company where an accounting clerk 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.

Thoughts;

This was a husband pick for a movie. I was shocked at how good this movie was. It takes a little bit to get where it’s going, however once you do, it makes it that much better.

Ben Affleck movies are hit or miss really, they have been for a long time. This one was a hit!
