Affleck plays hero bookkeeper in The Accountant

LOS ANGELES- Ben Affleck walked the red carpet at the premiere of his latest movie “The Accountant” in Los Angeles on Monday. The American actor plays Christian Wolff, a small town accountant who secretly keeps the books for some of the world’s most dangerous criminal organizations. "This is a great movie. It’s very original, very fresh. I loved the concept and the character, so the whole thing was a lot of fun," Affleck told Reuters at the premiere. Affleck’s co-stars include Anna Kendrick, John Lithgow, J.K. Simmons and Cynthia Addai-Robinson. Addai-Robinson said Affleck's role showed that "somebody that's comfortable with numbers can also be sexy and own their profession. You've got to give a movie for the accountants out there so they can have their hero moments as well." The film is scheduled for release on Friday. -Reuters
