Just saw The Amateur—an entertaining spy thriller with a cerebral twist. Rami Malek plays the role of a CIA cryptographer. The plot stretches believability at times, but remains engaging.

It had also some whitewashing for the CIA that I didn’t like, but hey, who expects a mainstream movie to glorify whistleblowers?

All said, it's a gripping narrative that keeps you hooked. If you're after entertainment, it's worth a watch. I'd rate it 6 out of 10.
