Relay

6/10

Relay is a solid, modern thriller with a cool idea and good tension. Riz Ahmed carries the movie with a calm, smart performance. The story keeps you interested, but the ending doesn’t fully hit.

Concept was brilliant. Execution was lackluster. Everything felt so drawn out. Acting was pretty mid. The plot twist was good but not enough to save it and came in way too late. Felt kinda cheated out of two hours.

SO GOOD

This was fine. It’s a serviceable, by the books, nostalgic narrative that harps back to old noir cinema, unfortunately it misses the mark on all of the charisma required to nail that genre. Every character here is a bit too awkward, even the big names looked out of place at times, coupled with not only a lack of chemistry but a complete lack of shared screentime made this a disjointed narrative, if the strength was the individual experiences they failed to make those interesting. For how surface level this seemed, it ultimately remained intriguing at most, kept my attention til the end and left me mostly satisfied, it’s just fine. 3/5
