First trailer for Outlander star Caitriona Balfe’s new thriller The Amateur

As someone who has spent countless hours engrossed in the world of espionage and thriller films, I must say that the trailer for “The Amateur” has piqued my interest! The stellar cast, led by Rami Malek, Caitríona Balfe, and Laurence Fishburne, promises a gripping narrative filled with intrigue, action, and revenge.


Here’s the trailer for “The Amateur” featuring Caitríona Balfe from “Outlander,” offering a sneak peek at her character.

Additionally featuring Rami Malek from “Bohemian Rhapsody” and Laurence Fishburne known for his role in “The Matrix”, the movie produced by 20th Century Studios will make its way to UK theaters on April 11.

In the suspenseful spy story, Malek assumes the principal character, Charlie Heller – a quiet CIA analyst who experiences tragedy when his spouse perishes in a terror incident in London.

Here’s one way of paraphrasing that statement: “When his superiors won’t act, he decides to take things into his own hands by embarking on a risky journey around the world to identify those responsible. His sharp intellect becomes his secret weapon for dodging pursuers and exacting his vengeance.

In the initial sneak peek of the movie, we’re introduced to Charlie having a conversation with his spouse. She questions him about whether he ever ponders what the CIA might do with the information he uncovers.

He is left reeling after seeing his wife killed during a terrorist attack in London, asking for “mission-specific training” and a new identity to track down the killers himself – while his bosses assure him they’ll handle the case.

He expresses his intention, stating, “I aim to confront those who took my wife’s life, gaze into their eyes, and seek justice for her.” This captures the essence of your original sentence in a more conversational tone.

In a different phrasing, Fishburne’s character forces Charlie to aim a gun at him and pulls the trigger, as if preparing him for the tasks that lay ahead.

People around Charlie believe he’s incapable of the job because he’s not violent, yet it appears he disproves them when he demolishes a rooftop swimming pool, causing the person within to fall to the ground below.

While the FBI pursues Charlie, we catch a glimpse of Balfe portraying her character driving off from an ambiguous situation or person. It remains undetermined how she fits into the storyline at this point.

In addition to the cast, The Amateur features Rachel Brosnahan from The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Jon Bernthal known for his role in The Punisher, Michael Stuhlbarg of The Instigators, and Holt McCallany, who starred in Mindhunter.

Julianne Nicholson, Adrian Martinez, and Danny Sapani complete the cast.

The movie is adapted from a novel by Robert Littell with the same title, and its script was penned by both Ken Nolan and Gary Spinelli.

The Amateur is released in cinemas on April 11, 2025.
