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, JK 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
