Rami Malek's 'The Amateur' Brings CIA Thriller to British Film Hub

The upcoming action film, set for an April 2025 release, highlights Malek's unique take on the spy genre with a focus on intellect over brute force.

Rami Malek stars as Charlie Heller, a CIA cryptographer seeking revenge for his wife's death in a London terrorist attack.
The film, adapted from Robert Littell’s 1981 novel, combines elements of 'Mr. Robot' and 'John Wick' with a focus on technological prowess.
Filming in the UK was a deliberate choice by Malek, who praised the country's production talent and favorable tax incentives.
Director James Hawes emphasizes a realistic portrayal of an 'unexpected hero' who relies on intellect rather than traditional action hero tropes.
The movie features an ensemble cast including Laurence Fishburne, Rachel Brosnahan, and Jon Bernthal, and will premiere in theaters on April 11, 2025.
