Rami Malek stars as a CIA analyst who becomes a field operative to exact justice upon those who killed his wife.
Before he won the Oscar for playing Freddie Mercury in Bohemian Rhapsody, Rami Malek was best known for playing a computer whizz in the TV show Mr. Robot.
He plays a similar type of character in the new revenge thriller The Amateur, in which he stars as a CIA analyst who becomes a field operative to exact justice upon those who killed his wife Sarah (Rachel Brosnahan) in a London terror attack.
When his superiors refuse to take action against those responsible, Charles uses highly classified material to blackmail them into training him in the field, with the help of seasoned pro Robert (Laurence Fishburne).
Charles then strikes out alone, embarking on a mission across Europe to track down Sarah’s killers and make them pay for her death.
You don’t see films like The Amateur anymore. This is a slow, old-fashioned spy thriller that feels like it belongs in the ’80s or ’90s.
Because Charles isn’t...
