The Amateur has the emotional range of a fridge magnet.

The script for The Amateur feels like it was entirely written by an algorithm fed nothing but energy-drink commercials.

Counted four explosions before the studio logo finished. The Amateur knows its audience.

Hot Take: The Amateur's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece
Everyone praising the The Amateur performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in The Amateur?
Just got out of The Amateur and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in The Amateur?
Director clearly thought The Amateur was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.
