Many people think working in one of the giant international accounting firms is, well, a bit dull. I worked in the Los Angeles office of what was then a "big 8" (now big 4&quot firm in 1980 and 1981. Our work was almost exactly like the work of Ben Affleck in this movie. Very exciting. I really enjoyed the movie.
