The film was first released in the US on 14 October and collected $25m in its opening weekend, with the entry pushing the highly anticipated thriller, The Girl on the Train, off of top spot.

Ben Affleck plays the part of a freelance bookkeeper for dangerous clients such as drug dealers, and finds that as his work continues the body count starts to rise.

The film is currently ranked 7.7/10 on IMDB.com and received an abundance of good reviews from publishers in the US.

In the UK however, the film does not appear to be ranking as highly with the Telegraph and the Guardian rating it two out of five.

The trailer for The Accountant is available here.
