Oscar winner Rami Malek (Bohemian Rhapsody) isn’t a trained killer but he does have other skills that will prove extremely useful in finding his wife’s killers in The Amateur. The first trailer introduces Malek as a CIA decoder who vows revenge after his wife is murdered.
Oscar nominee Laurence Fishburne (What’s Love Got to Do with It), Rachel Brosnahan, Caitríona Balfe, Jon Bernthal and Michael Stuhlbarg also star, along with Holt McCallany, Julianne Nicholson, Adrian Martinez, and Danny Sapani.
“Charlie Heller (Malek) is a brilliant, but deeply introverted decoder for the CIA working out of a basement office at headquarters in Langley whose life is turned upside down when his wife is killed in a London terrorist attack,” reads 20th Century Studios’ synopsis. “When his supervisors refuse to take action, he takes matters into his own hands, embarking on a dangerous trek across the globe to track down those responsible, his intelligence serving as the ultimate weapon for eluding his pursuers and achieving his revenge.”
James Hawes directed from a screenplay by Ken Nolan and Gary Spinelli. Based on the novel by Robert Littell, the thriller is produced by Hutch Parker, Dan Wilson, Rami Malek, and Joel B. Michaels. JJ Hook serves as executive producer.
The Amateur will open in theaters on April 11, 2025.
