I like to think about this film. Some things I saw are very interesting. It is a kind of spy thriller that I find more exciting than before. The name of the film is The Amateur, and Rami Malek’s character in it is special. Rami Malek, who has previously given great performances in films like Mr. Robot and Bohemian Rhapsody, is playing the role of a CIA decoder in this film. His name is Charlie Heller. I think there is something special in this character, which makes him different.

Charlie is a very intelligent but lonely person. His wife is killed in a terrorist attack, and then he starts investigating the case himself. The CIA people do not believe him because they believe that he may have a mental imbalance. But Charlie himself sets out across the world to find the culprits of that attack. Can you imagine how a lonely man who is struggling with the pain of losing his wife will chase those who are responsible for his life? There is a kind of suspense in thinking about it. I think Rami Malek is going to do something very special in this role.

The trailer of the film showed something special. Charlie’s character in it looks very deep and complex. The emotions on his face say a lot. He is a decoder, that is, he should be an expert in understanding codes, messages and signals. But now, his own life becomes a big question. Will he be able to catch the right people? The adventures and dangerous situations in his search are very interesting. The trailer shows that Charlie has deceived many people using his deep thinking and understanding, and he is spread all over the world to take revenge. I think this film will continue to surprise the audience.

This film also has some similarities with Gary Oldman’s Slow Horse. Slow Horse is a spy thriller, and James Howes, who is the director of Slow Horse, took inspiration to make this film. I liked to know that Howes also took inspiration from classic films like All the President’s Men and Three Days of the Condor in his direction. This can be a very good sign for the film. Because these films are quite influential in themselves and have deep politics and hidden messages. Maybe something similar is there in The Amateur.

Not only Rami Malek, the rest of the actors of the film are also going to do a great job. Rachel Brosnahan, who is famous for her role in The Marvelous Mrs. Meisel, is also playing an important role in this film. Apart from this, Jon Bernthal, who is always known for his brilliant acting, is also in this film. I think how the film will have an impact will depend a lot on the performance of all these actors.

After watching the trailer of this film, I thought that this film is not just a thriller, but it can also be a deep psychological journey. Charlie’s journey can be not just external but also internal. Will he get a chance to find himself after his wife’s death? Will he be able to find the lost humanity within him again? Will he be able to get justice in his own way? All these questions are running in my mind.

I also liked that The Amateur has been shot somewhere else, in different cities of the world. The glimpses of the cities shown in the trailer are very unique. This further increases the impact of the film. Because usually we often see spy thrillers in some major cities of Europe or military areas. But the locations chosen in this film are something different, which can be new and interesting for the audience.

That is, this film gives me a lot of expectations. Rami Malek’s character, Hawes’ direction, and the tone of the whole film – everything together can make it a great experience. If you are also a fan of spy thrillers, then you must watch this movie.
