00:00I want to face my wife's killers.
00:02I beg your pardon? You heard me.
00:04I want to find and kill the people who murdered my wife.
00:08You're just a slight little nerdy fellow who likes to work on computers.
00:12The Amateur for me is an action film that's sophisticated, smart,
00:17and from the point of view of someone who's underestimated.
00:20You can't do what I do no matter how much I train you.
00:23You're just not a killer, Charlie.
00:25It's a really interesting and fresh take on the world of intelligence.
00:30He does things that he would never dream himself capable of to avenge her death.
00:36I want cash and a new identity.
00:38What are you doing?
00:39He's gonna kill you.
00:41It's a really good ride of a movie.
00:43It takes you places with real scale and texture,
00:47and to properly visit those, you need the big screen.
00:51It has a scope and scale of an action film.
00:54But with an unexpected, underestimated hero doing extraordinary things.
01:01Do you ever account for the things I'm good at?
01:04Tell me where he is, or swim very fast.
