Skip it. The premise of a grieving CIA analyst going rogue is solid revenge-thriller fodder, but 'The Amateur' lands as a generic, by-the-numbers action film that wastes its intriguing setup. Without critical validation and no standout name attached to elevate it, you're better off rewatching a thriller that actually delivers the goods.

Plot
