The Accountant movie quotes provide the dialogue for the action thriller about a forensic accountant who works for the most dangerous criminals in the world. Directed by Gavin O'Connor, the movie was written by Bill Dubuque. The Accountant opened in theaters in the United States on October 14, 2016.
In The Accountant, Christian "Chris" Wolff (Ben Affleck) has always been a bit different from others, specifically in his highly advanced analytical skills and awkward social skills. This makes his profession as a CPA a good fit, but interacting with the ladies, like Dana (Anna Kendrick), quite difficult.
But what few know about Chris is that his small town CPA gig is just a guise to cover up his work as an accountant to the most dangerous criminals in the world. But US Treasury agents Ray (J. K. Simmons) and Marybeth (Cynthia Addai-Robinson) are on to his act and actively investigating him. This leads Chris to go into business with legit clients, though the risk and danger involved in his work continues to follow him.
The Accountant movie quotes also feature lines from co-stars like Jon Bernthal, Jeffrey Tambor and John Lithgow. For other movie quotes, check out lists featuring quotes from movies like Middle School: The Worst Years of My Life, The Birth of the Nation, The Girl on the Train, and American Honey.
