🎬 The Amateur (2025) A competent revenge flick with brains and bite. Malek’s glacial performance as a grieving data decoder turned assassin anchors this cat-and-mouse game, elevating it beyond its tropes. The tech may be Hollywood-fake, but the emotional stakes—and Malek’s haunting presence—feel terrifyingly real. 🔗 Read the full review on Moviez4U: 👉 https://moviez4u.blog/the-amateur-2025/ ✍️ Written by: Ad1mz

Rami Malek isn’t your usual spy thriller lead and that’s what makes The Amateur work. It’s a revenge story with brains, restraint, and just the right dose of chaos. It's just shy of greatness. #TheAmateur #RamiMalek #SpyThriller #ActionMovies #MovieReview My full review ⬇️

Hmmm . . . . interesting. 🧐
First the movie's director says this:

The Amateur stars and director break down that twist ending — and plans for a sequel
"There is room for many of these people to come back and for us to see what lies ahead for Charlie Heller," Rami Malek tells EW.

Key Points:
The Amateur stars Rami Malek and Laurence Fishburne, along with director James Hawes, break down the movie's twist ending.
The trio reveals that the final scene between Heller and Henderson was not in the original script and was shot later to set up future movies.
The actors and filmmaker confirm they all want to return for sequels.
This article contains spoilers for The Amateur.
The Amateur stars Rami Malek and Laurence Fishburne, along with director James Hawes, are ready to get back in the field and turn their espionage thriller into a franchise. But if Malek's CIA decoder Charlie Heller returns for a sequel, it's going to need a new title.
While the introverted, risk-averse, desk jockey starts off as a true amateur when it comes to spycraft, by the end of the film, he proves he's got what it takes to be a professional secret agent.
Based on the novel by Robert Littell, the movie follows Heller as he embarks on a quest for revenge against the terrorists who killed his wife (played by Rachel Brosnahan). After he discovers the CIA covered up more than 1,000 casualties in illegal operations, Heller uses that information to blackmail Deputy Director Moore (Holt McCallany) into approving his mission. Still, the data analyst knows he needs combat training, so he also demands lessons from Col. Henderson (Fishburne) — known by "Hendo" to his friends (which does not include Heller).

Against all odds, and to everyone's shock, Heller actually succeeds in getting his revenge. He kills three out of the four terrorists responsible for his wife's murder — accidentally causing Gretchen (Barbara Probst) to get hit by a car, intentionally dropping Blazhic (Marc Rissman) 16 stories by cracking a glass-bottomed pool, and blowing up Ellish (Joseph Millson) with a homemade IED. But when it came to the fourth and final terrorist, their leader, Schiller (Michael Stuhlbarg), Heller threw everyone for a twist.
At first, it seems like he's going to shoot Schiller point-blank, but he ultimately decides he doesn't need to kill him to get his revenge. Instead, Heller outsmarts him by secretly luring Schiller's ship into Finnish waters after tipping off the Finnish Navy and Interpol, who promptly commandeer the vessel and arrest him. This way, Heller kills two birds with one stone, getting his revenge on Schiller while also exposing his illegal dealings with Deputy Director Moore. By the end of the movie, CIA Director O'Brien (Julianne Nicholson) announces in a press conference that Moore has been arrested and that Charlie "is safe and will continue to serve with the agency."
It's the kind of ending that perfectly sets up sequels — and Malek says that's "of course" their ultimate goal. "We would love for people to appreciate this film on its own as a standalone feature — if it resonated with people, that would be enough for me," he tells Entertainment Weekly. "But to take Charlie’s story into further iterations would be an absolute joy."
Tumblr media

Malek "would love to continue" working with Hawes "and this extraordinary cast we assembled, so many of which I have been dying to work with," in the future. "There is room for many of these people to come back and for us to see what lies ahead for Charlie Heller," Malek adds. "He is a battered, broken soul with so much vulnerability but an immense amount of strength that we could find avenues to venture into again."
Hawes says that any decisions about future movies lie with 20th Century Studios but adds that he's extremely interested in making sequels. "The best thing for me to come out of this was the fact that, at the end of it, people were going, 'I have to see what happens to Charlie and Hendo next,'" the director says. "And that was almost by accident — that last scene where they re-meet again was additional photography.
That final scene sees Henderson reunite with Heller after nearly dying towards the end of the film. Henderson pops up in the backseat of his former pupil's car to say he's proud of his success. He also seems to tease more adventures together, leaving him with, "See you around, Charlie."
That [scene] was not in the original script, but we felt that there was something so satisfying in that kind of tutor-mentor relationship that we could take that further," Hawes reveals. "And we wanted the rounding off, we wanted the bookends, we wanted the satisfaction of learning that Hendo was still definitely alive, not just a question mark at the end of the movie. The studio will think about it, obviously, and it depends how people respond to it, but it just felt like that connection had much more traveling to do."
Fishburne tells EW that "it was lovely" to have that final moment. "As we were shooting the movie, they realized that there was something really, really special about Rami and I being on screen together and that people would want more of it," he says. "[Henderson's original ending] was left up in the air, and I think that was deliberate. It was not clear one way or the other how it was going to play out."
If a sequel is greenlit, Hawes already has ideas for what it could entail. "The eventual development has got to be, and this is epic and classic, and it's in mythology, and it's in Star Wars, it's the gradual development of the teacher and the pupil, and the point at which the two reverse," the director says. "Some element of that is already happening. But first of all, you'd want to see them as sidekicks — the least likely sidekicks ever. And it would be the strangest kind of buddy spy movie."
Fishburne is absolutely down to return to the character to make that happen. "Of course," he says. "I mean, if the fates allow that to happen, that would be wonderful, wouldn't it? We certainly have the desire [to work together again]."
The Amateur is playing now in theatres.

Caitríona Balfe opens up about possible prequel to her new spy film and Irish action heroes
Tumblr media
Four-minute 📹 available @ Joe
‘We should have an Irish action hero, shouldn’t we?’
Irish actress Caitríona Balfe (Belfast, Outlander) is among the stars of the new action spy revenge thriller The Amateur, which is in cinemas today (Friday, 11 April).
The movie sees Oscar-winner Rami Malek (Bohemian Rhapsody) play Charlie Heller, a brilliant but deeply introverted techwiz and decoder for the CIA whose life is turned upside down when his wife (Rachel Brosnahan, James Gunn’s Superman) is killed in a London terrorist attack.
When his superiors (led by Holt McCallany, Mindhunter) refuse to take action against the people behind the murder, Charlie uses his access to CIA intelligence to blackmail his bosses into giving him training, cash and a new identity. This is so that he himself can trek across the globe to find and kill those responsible.
Balfe, meanwhile, plays the enigmatic Inquiline – a long-distance acquaintance of Charlie from Russia, who winds up helping him on this quest.
We here at JOE enjoyed The Amateur – writing that it mined plenty of thrills from its tantalising premise, which is basically: “What if Q from the James Bond films went into the field on a vengeance mission?”
Another great aspect of the film is Inquiline, a character that Balfe describes to JOE as both a “hero” and a “champion”.
Without spoiling, over the course of the story, the character reveals herself as being not what people expect of her at first. This is as the audience comes to learn her fascinating backstory about how she came to be involved in hacking and spycraft.
As such, when we spoke to the Irish actress, we had to ask if there could ever be a prequel film or series about Inquiline if The Amateur is a success.
To this, Caitríona Balfe replied:
“I mean, who knows right? You’ve said it now so maybe, we’ll just have to have words in somebody’s ears. But yeah, it would be cool to see her whole backstory.
“It’s somebody who when you meet her, you realise that there’s been a whole life there and it sounds very interesting. So, you never know.”
Also, given Balfe has played a Russian action hero in The Amateur and a British action hero in the hit series Outlander, JOE had to ask if we will ever see her play an Irish action hero someday.
“Oh, I mean, we should have an Irish action hero, shouldn’t we? That would be fun,” she responded. “Yeah, I don’t know, we need to create one, don’t we?”
The actress, who has also been doing more producing and directing in recent years, then added, laughing: “Maybe that’s what I need to do.”
The Amateur is in cinemas now.
Remember… if a sequel is greenlit, (James) Hawes (the film’s director) already has ideas for what it could entail.

Got emotional at the dedication to Barbara Probst at the end of tonight’s survivor. She’s Jeff’s mom, and recently passed.
I actually met her once, when I was younger. She and my mom were friends, and I went to her house on a family trip to Arizona. My family only started watching survivor because her son was the host. She ran a survivor pool for many years where she’d tell everyone about her visits to the filming locations, and she always had a seat at the live finale.
Thanks, Barb, even if I only ever called you Mrs. Probst. I still have the Survivor hat you had Jeff sign and send to me, all those years ago.

The third season of The Traitors is now in the books, with a whopping four Faithfuls splitting the — pretty meager, tbh — $204,000 prize pot. (The winning team on Pop Culture Jeopardy! got $300,000 and only had to split it three ways!) For the first time in the U.S. edition, the winners aren’t alumni of social-strategy competition shows. Instead, we got a mix: Real Housewife Dolores Catania, Bachelor alum Gabby Windey, social-media star/celebrity relative Dylan Efron, and royal Lord Ivar Mountbatten. This was, to put it mildly, not a quartet we ever expected to see left standing.
Which is not to say the season overall was a dud. Far from it, honestly. The fireworks up in the Traitors turret were as explosive as they’ve ever been, and watching Danielle Reyes, Boston Rob Mariano, Carolyn Wiger, and Bob the Drag Queen blow up their own games by targeting each other was a thrill. Meanwhile, both Dylan and Gabby were hugely likeable personalities and made enough shrewd reads throughout the season to make their victories feel more than satisfying.
The Traitors is a good TV show, but at the same time, it remains a massively frustrating game. The fact that Dolores (who I love!) and Ivar (who is Ivar) were able to win the season without ever making any kind of tactical play or, in Dolores’s case, having even the faintest clue as to the identity of the Traitors is a glaring flaw, one made all the more enervating by the fact that the show’s producers could easily make some tweaks to shore up the competition end of the game. If you take a given season of The Traitors and divide it into four major elements — the casting, the selection and replenishment of Traitors, the competitions, and the strategy — it’s easier to see where the show is succeeding and where it’s failing.
No notes! Or, okay, very few notes. This is the element of The Traitors (U.S.) that is working the best. The mix of “gamers” (e.g., alumni from social strategy shows like Survivor, Big Brother, and The Challenge) and more sedentary reality stars has mostly worked. The gamers hit the ground running and bring their baggage from previous shows in order to establish day-one story lines. Danielle and Britney Haynes’s carry-over hard feelings from Big Brother: Reindeer Games was mentioned within the first minute of the season, and it stayed relevant until the final episode. Meanwhile, the casting of non-competitive-reality celebs has been a consistent success: Dylan and Gabby this season; Pilot Pete Weber, Phaedra Parks, and John Bercow last year; queen Kate Chastain in season one. What Tom Sandoval didn’t deliver in coherent or effective gameplay he more than made up for in facial expressions and a cappella singing. Even Robyn Dixon, though she didn’t last long, was more engaged on this show than she’d been on the last several seasons of The Real Housewives of Potomac.
And there is so much more territory still to traverse. While Survivor’s Jeff Probst continues to grumble about The Traitors poaching his alumni, he’s only going to be able to cast so many people on his show’s upcoming 50th season. Anyone who doesn’t make the cut can have Alan Cumming’s fashion kilts to run to. Here’s hoping the producers feel free to expand beyond the Gamer-Housewife binary too. There are so many reality TV luminaries to be found in every corner of the industry. I continue to hold a candle for the eventual casting of Tim Gunn, Tabatha Coffey, Barbara Corcoran from Shark Tank, and any of the dozens of Top Chef/Food Network all-stars. Put Bobby Flay up in that turret! This means fewer Ivars and more dips into the Vanderpump Rules well. Cast Scheana Shay and then watch her break down when you bring Tom Sandoval back for another music challenge.
The open mutiny staged by Bob the Drag Queen, Boston Rob, Danielle, and Carolyn up in that turret was quite entertaining, but it demonstrated just how far the envelope ought to be pushed when putting big, stubborn personalities under the Traitor hoods. The show could benefit from subverting expectations in season four. Don’t cast any gamers as Traitors next time. Put one of the quieter personalities under the hood and make them come out of their shell. Do it for no other reason than the players themselves are incredibly aware of how reality TV gets produced. They’re the raptors who know how to open doors and producers need to stay one step ahead.
One thing that seemed obvious despite the fact that show producers tried to downplay it was that this season’s cast played the meta game hard. In the absence of any other evidence, the cast simply pointed accusatory fingers at the people who seemed like Traitors “Alan” (i.e., production) would pick. In other words, with four Housewives and four Survivor alumni in the cast, the players assumed one of each was likely a Traitor. They ended up being half right, but there’s a good reason why five of the first seven eliminated players were either Housewives or Survivors. In The Traitors’ three seasons, the producers have selected four Survivor alums, three Big Brother alums, one Housewife, and one Drag Race queen as Traitors. If they’re smart, they will swerve far away from CBS reality alums next time. Instead, the show should dive back into the Housewives well. Phaedra was one of the best U.S. Traitors we’ve had, and the easiest way to make sure a Dolores doesn’t float to the end on the wings of bad reads and noncommittal gameplay is to make her a Traitor.
This is the big one — the area of improvement I harp on to anyone who makes the mistake of asking me if I’m a fan of The Traitors. The competitions need to have meaning beyond prize money! The audience doesn’t care about the prize money, and neither do the contestants. Yes, you can win a shield to keep you safe from that night’s murder, but that’s not enough. Every competition needs to contain within it something that could help the Faithful suss out the Traitors. A huge problem in the show’s strategy is that too often, the players are just acting on gut feelings. All it takes is one halfhearted suspicion to get someone banished. See poor Nikki Garcia this season, done in by Chrishell Stause reading one facial expression wrong.
Each competition should have some sort of hidden clue to the Traitors’ identities. Take a lesson from summer’s best reality show, Claim to Fame: Plant some esoteric hints throughout the challenge area that signal pieces of the Traitors’ identities. This is something the U.S. version could easily institute before other versions, since everybody on the show is a public figure.
Meanwhile, the Traitors should have to accomplish a secret task in every competition that runs counter — or at least parallel — to the greater group’s task. Maybe there should be a side pot (the Traitor’s Share) that would go only to a Traitor should they win. Add to that pot every time a Traitor is able to surreptitiously accomplish tasks during each challenge. It doesn’t need to be sabotage — let The Mole keep that to itself — but the Traitors should be forced to work in secret in some way that will give the Faithfuls more opportunities to clock sketchy behavior.
Also, there should be more competitions that force the players to make social choices and piss each other off. The rafting challenge from this season’s premiere was a perfect example. The team had a group task to accomplish, yes, but at every checkpoint, people had to make the decision to be selfish or selfless, and the selfish ones got rewarded while the selfless were left abandoned and miserable on the loch. We were a few blessed hours from Dorinda going full Berkshires on the group, and that kind of thing needs to be happening every week.
So the elephant in the room that you’d only really know about if you’re a few levels deep into Reddit boards or listening to the cast members’ podcasts is the so-called “Traitor Angel” strategy. This goes back to season two, when Survivor’s Sandra Diaz-Twine essentially broke the game in a strategy session by the pool table. The long and short of it: The Traitors is ultimately a numbers game just like any vote-off show, and if you have an alliance of sufficient numbers, you can dictate whom you want to banish. And since you don’t win the game by banishing the most Traitors but instead by getting to the end — past most of your fellow Faithfuls — and then eradicating the Traitors who remain, it would behoove Faithfuls to simply form an alliance and vote out whoever seems to be threatening your members, and if your alliance contains a Traitor or two, better to keep them around (and loyal to you) rather than eliminate them and start over trying to figure out which new Traitor was recruited instead.
The Traitor Angel strategy is an extension of that, which says your main objective should be finding a Traitor, making an alliance with that Traitor, and then riding them to the end, where you will ideally then banish them and take the money for yourself. It’s been widely noted that both Britney and Dylan were probably doing this very thing with Danielle (I suspect Dylan was doing this with Boston Rob as well). Both Britney and Dylan have quiet-confirmed this. (Yes, Britney and Danielle both stressed at the reunion that Danielle never told Britney she was a Traitor, since that would be breaking the rules, but Britney still knew.)
This is good strategy if you’re a Faithful, but bad strategy if you’re a Traitors producer, since they clearly don’t want to publicize a tactic that involves making an end run around the whole point of the game. And so if they can’t show the Traitor Angel strategy on TV, they need to find a way to complicate the game to a point where that strategy is no longer advantageous.
One possible solution floated by Tony Vlachos after his elimination was to incentivize voting out Traitors and/or penalize voting out Faithful. Say everybody who casts a vote to banish a player who turns out to be a Faithful are then the ones up for murder that night. Or casting a successful vote to banish a Traitor gets you a secret advantage to be played later. If the smart way to play is to carry a Traitor to the end, the show needs to make that a far riskier proposition than it currently is.
One complication that was thrown into the game at the last possible moment was the role of the Seer, the one player with the power to privately ask any one other player whether or not they’re a Faithful, and that player must answer truthfully. Ultimately, the Seer was introduced far too late in the season for it to make any real difference, but it’s a fun idea. And since The Traitors is just tartaned-up Mafia anyway, the producers should take a cue from that game and introduce other non-Traitor roles into the mix. Have someone assume the role of Prosecutor, whose task is to rally the group to eliminate one particular person, and if they can’t do it, they get banished. This is ultimately a very silly game that is only enhanced by Alan Cumming getting deliciously dramatic about it all. There should be no limit on how many twists he’s allowed to throw into the game.
The bottom line is that if The Traitors is going to be a show about paranoia and suspicion, the gameplay needs to really crank up the paranoia and suspicion. No one’s sole defense against being accused of being a Traitor should ever be, “I swear, I am 100 percent a Faithful!” Their defense needs to be, “I saw Derrick remove a chalice from the chapel during the competition, and I think the book in the library about the Boston Tea Party that was left on the floor implicates Rob, and my role as the Witness means I know one of the Traitors was in the kitchen during the murder-in-plain-sight last night.”
More clues. Fewer vibes. Scheana for season four.

Our present age is shaped by ideology and emotion. Digitization, climate change, and conflicts between societies and states are leading to political and social upheavals that impact individuals and the environment alike. The artists in this show reflect on experienced and anticipated processes of transformation; their carefully crafted images respond to the fast-paced visual media economy with new perspectives for facing the challenges of the early twenty-first century. How do we position ourselves in the present? What are the repercussions of social reorganization? How are urban and rural realities changing? And what is expected of us? The exhibition sheds light on these questions with photographic works by the Art’Us Collectors’ Collective, a non-profit association of private collectors committed to a lively culture of exhibition and communication.

Week Eight / Photo book Research.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
-> The first photo book I had looked at while in AUT library was "Daido Moriyama" by Kazuo Nishii which offers an introduction into the photographer, Daido Moriyama. Daido Moriyama is best known for his raw, high-contrast black and white photographs. These images capture the chaotic energy that is urban life. These are not all the photos from Daido Moriyama, I have only taken a few photos of different pages.
-> I had picked out this photo book as at first glance as I had found the cover visually interesting. Then I had opened the photo book to which I was then quickly intrigued by his B&W photography. Particularly the gritty emotion that is brought out.
-> I had originally thought that the photo book was published by the photographer himself and not someone else so I had found the sequencing interesting. As some photos would take up a bigger portion of a DPS or it would be a singular image on one page. I did find the order of images are bit random but I think this is because it was from another author and not the photographer himself.
-> I find Daido Moriyama's visual style quite interesting with the high contrast B&W as this aligns with my editing style of my photographs. But unlike having high contrast, I am going to stick to a mid/average contrast where the facial features are not washed out by the tonal range.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
-> The second photo book I had picked up was by the photographer Barbara Probst and I found this series particularly interesting due to the camera angles and sequencing of images. She had set up cameras where the models would each be looking into the lens of a seperate camera but would still capture one another in their background. This plays around with focus, more like what we focus on first when we look at an image and the perception behind the concept.
-> This was another really cool photo book that explores the perception of people and I found the technical process into this series had really intrigued me, so much where I had looked into the method of process. Through this research of the book, I had found that she had used radio waves that had controlled the shutter release to set off multiple cameras (14 at a time).
