The Amateur: Crying Over The Death Of Ms Maisel

Summary

Rami Malek, puts on his Jigsaw hat for a minute and heads out to seek some revenge.

This film is your standard revenge thriller, man loses loved one man gets vengeance, there is little beyond that. There is some fun to be had with the traps, however the trailers for this film spoil a lot in this regard.

The global span of the film is nice and feels realistic in line with how a terrorist groups/ wet work operators would work, rather than this idea of them all holding up in a fortress of evil somewhere.

I suppose the impression I am trying to impart in this review is that this film is fine, it is not particularly anything. The trailers spoil the best parts, so if you can try and go in blind, but yes set your expectations to meh and maybe you’ll enjoy it.

Overall, middling.

2.5/5

Pros.

The traps

It is unintentionally funny

You feel the emotion

Cons.

It been done before

The pacing

The trailers gave too much away
