movie review - The Amateur
somewhere over Eurasia, 2025.11.27
This is a movie about a CIA analyst who is motivated to enter the field by the murder of his wife. He blackmails his employer to get his shot, and spends the rest of the movie being hunted by the killers .. and the killers he's been working for. I enjoyed the setting, the characters, and most of the dialogue. The plot and tone were consistent, too, which I find important. Plots that veer around tend to confuse me, and swings in tone are very off-putting.
Recommended.
