Rami Malek plays a low-key CIA coder whose wife is killed in a London terrorist attack. When he gets frustrated by his bosses’ lack of action, he decides to pursue the killers himself. This takes him to France, Türkiye and Russia, using his technological skills to wreak revenge. Malek manages the role with sufficient skill, but he doesn’t have much to work with. Other than a few quick outbursts, there’s almost no action. The tech tricks that his character uses are mildly cool, but even this concept has been done better. The political intrigue back home is flat and predictable. Ultimately, there’s running around and drama, but none of it will help this film stand out.
