not every wife guy spy movie can be black bag
zoë rose bryantApr 7, 2025What if John Wick was a little rodent man whose wife gave him a fidget spinner instead of a dog?
Nick NaneyApr 5, 2025Rami Malek’s character has a 170 IQ, and still had to pull up a YouTube tutorial on how to pick a lock. Honestly, that makes me feel a lot better about looking up how to do stuff I should probably already know…

Insaneeeee. Amazingly executed storytelling, characters, acting performances. Really, really great movie. It is very instense, and very realistic, all the hacking, and computer things were extremly realistic. One of my favourite movie of the year. Absolutely recommending.
DJ is "meh" onThe AmateurSooo sloooooow. I was expecting to love this but it was a little flat.
Mark Bateman lovedThe Amateur9/10 liked the ideal of a CIA tech geek on a revenge rampage. Could open the door for a follow up with a different approach. Cast and director spot on, although think Jon was thrown in as a decoy. Recommend.

A good movie it has good shots good directing and great acting it looks good on the big screen it does go on for a bit to long and the story is to basic but I do recommend it a solid 8.7/10
dkmovies lovedThe AmateurWas a good watch def recommend
zxki likedThe AmateurHonestly, I would have loved this if the 2-hour runtime had been about 20 minutes shorter. It had an amazing cast, striking production, a fun concept, and smart directing and writing. I was confused from the get-go, but the buildup was perfect, from thriller to romance to sci-fi to comedy to…

That was such a good movie! The plot was incredible. It was funny, exciting, smart, creative and there was loads of action! Great ending as well. The acting wasn’t the best but it wasn’t bad. I really liked the characters. Such a good movie overall, it’s a must watch. 8.9/10
Jared Cloud likedThe AmateurIt was alright. Nothing too special to be honest but enjoyable enough nevertheless. I enjoyed the first half setup and really felt for Charlie but the ending kind of lost me a bit and left me feeling confused with some of the writing decisions but overall it was an okay time
Charlie Mills likedThe Amateureen looking forward to watching this film for a while and finally watched it. Wished it was a 15 or something the 12 cut was just too little and had so much more potential with certain scenes 🏊♂️ Solid 6/10

The movie had such promise in its premise. However, it never took the necessary steps to be as ambitious as the premise would promise in the trailers. Jon Bernthal and Lawrence Fishburne's talents were completely wasted. The biggest let down was the anticlimactic ending.…
SASandeep AgarwalIt was absolutely Good!! I am going to see it again with my daughter. Rami Malik is a real good actor and I like watching him in movies. Prince and Little Princess
GTGingi ThompsonGreat movie I loved it

There is no swearing in this movie :)
RBRichard Bandoverall a solid movie but there wasn't as much character development as we had hoped for. Laurence Fishburne was solid as always and Rami Malik did a great job with what he was given in the script.
RRRico RushingBoring overall with some action moments
- CFCarson F
Needed more action & they wasted Berthals character. Literally wasted.
SNSarah NaisbittThought it was going to be more action-packed, but it was slow and a letdown, especially the end
JSJoanna SmithIt was fairly entertaining, but I wasn’t a fan of the casting and it just felt like it was a bit too long with some plot holes and not much backstory on the characters.

While the film’s execution seems expert on the surface, the internal narrative design is unfortunately ham-handed and woefully dull.

Malek’s icy performance does little to endear the viewer to Charlie, while his ultra-tactile relationship with his wife – presented in gauzy flashbacks – never feels entirely authentic.

Just when movie theaters don’t need another one, The Amateur comes along to join the roster of 2025 releases that lack the knack, the juice and exciting reasons for theatergoers to theater-go.
