STORYLINE: When his supervisors at the CIA refuse to take action after his wife is killed in a London terrorist attack, a decoder takes matters into his own hands. (IMDb) 

    I keep saying spy films are my favorite films to watch, because it is true. Give me an over the top plot like the classic James Bond film or a gritty realistic plot like the modern 007 features amd I am a thrilled movie goer.  I love the true stories as well such as Zero Dark Thirty and Bridge of Spies.  2025 sees the release of the Rami Malek spy film The Amateur.

     I enjoyed the slick thrills of the film.  I liked that the movie relied on the central characters brain power instead of being  field agent.  I wish the film was more unpredictable with the plot.  I like a dew more twists and turns in my spy features.  

    I have been a fan of Tami Makek since I saw him in bohemian Rhapsody. Since the Academy Award winning film film he has started in some films I really enjoyed including No Time to Die and the suspense filled The Little Things.  The Amateur is not quite on par with those titles but still a fun film to watch.

     Until next time I will see you at the movies!
