Watched The Amateur (2025), an action thriller directed by James Hawes. The protagonist is a CIA cryptographer looking for revenge after his wife is killed in a terrorist attack. His superior don’t want to act on the intel he found so he takes matters into his own hands. He blackmails the agency into training him and then gets his revenge. The whole “blackmailing your employer into training you” doesnt make much sense but the movie was very entertaining. Special effects were really good. Explosions were well made. Rami Malek was very believable in his role.

(This is a remake of a 1981 movie)

Paid to rent it few days ago and fell asleep halfway, boy because it was bad, just an old fogey I guess. Need to finish it but not paying agaon!

Ya don’t pay again. It’s good entertainment. Nothing more

Are you on The Academy board, nostr:nprofile1qqsp3yzapfwkyw4cr2vt4xx9s27474lj2pkxhqyfqh79n826pv3fkzqpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejszyrhwden5te0dehhxarj9ekxzmnyqy2hwumn8ghj7ct8vaezumn0wd68ytnvv9hxg6pmktg🤔? You seem to watch an awful lot of films. I've probably watched no more than 20 over the last decade🤷🏻‍♂️😂. (True story!).

Yes. I’m on the academy board and Cannes at the same time 🤣

I didn’t watch them all today. I have a backlog of films I’ve seen that I want to review.

But yes I enjoy the movies quite a bit

Have you watched Dead Man's Shoes yet. I'm pretty sure I've recommend it to you previously🧐?

Not yet no. What kind of movie is it?

It's a very very dark low budget British film, but absolutely superb. It's about a guy, and his brother and a bunch of ex friends. Highly highly recommend. I'd be keen to hear what you think of it.

Oooooooh🥳.

Looks cool. Hoping review of 8 or better to come. Only then will I watch it too

A discerning customer of nodereviews 🤌🏾

I think it's well worth an 8. I'd personally give it 9.3662/10.

4 decimals! 😂

Clip had a cool look and tone to it.

I trust ephemeral‘s judgement

Hey YODL, you can watch it now. It has met the viewing threshold with a very commendable 8.8/10🙏🏻🥳.

😂

You wouldn't have bribed node for a good review, would you?! I know how rating sites work.

Will go find review now and see

No 😂

I think it would have scored even higher but he couldn't understand 5% of the dialogue, that might have even nudged it into the 9's🤷🏻‍♂️.

Could have went down too. I guess we’ll never know 😂

True!

MFW AY HEE HOO compares me to a rating site:

Sorry, would you prefer "blogger?"

Sit down Yoda 😂

I patiently await your blog 🤭 soon ™

Oh right...it's in progress. Some things take a bit more effort than sitting and staring at pictures for 90 minutes

Look at the attitude on Yoda.

Must be frustrating to do all this effort when the brain doesn’t follow 😂

I demand the utmost quality from myself. My blog may send shockwaves through multiple fields and schools of academics. I need to get it just right...and also do more than just scrawl handwritten notes down while never starting to type final draft

Perfect is the enemy of…something something 😂🫂
