The Accountant Ending Explained

2016’s The Accountant was an unexpected hit due in large part to a strong performance from Ben Affleck and a surprise twist ending that elevated the movie above the usual action fare. Directed by Gavin O’Connor (Warrior), The Accountant concerns Christian Wolff (Affleck), a brilliant number cruncher on the autism spectrum who provides his services to high-profile criminal clients. Weaving a complicated web of corruption and intrigue, The Accountant manages to deftly blend its action-oriented premise with a genuinely effective mystery storyline. The film also represented a return to form for Affleck, who became something of an action star in the 2010s.
