Prime Video<\/a> has added The Amateur<\/em>, the 2025 spy thriller<\/strong> with Rami Malek as CIA cryptographer Charlie Heller, which puts the movie in front of a much bigger crowd after its earlier stretch on Hulu<\/a> and Disney+. The Bourne<\/em> comparison comes pretty naturally.<\/p>\n

Malek plays Heller as a man dragged into a revenge mission after his wife is killed in a terrorist attack<\/strong>. But he isn’t Jason Bourne. He gets by on technical skill, careful planning, surveillance, cyber know-how, and tradecraft, not sheer force, which gives James Hawes’s adaptation of Robert Littell’s 1981 novel a more cerebral edge, with a clear “revenge of the nerd” streak running through it.<\/p>\n\n

The movie opened in theaters in April 2025<\/strong>, landed on digital in June, and pulled in about $96 million worldwide against a $60 million budget. Streaming gave it a real second life, too, with a reported 310 million minutes watched in its first week across Hulu and Disney+.<\/p>\n\n

Reviews landed somewhere in the middle. The Amateur<\/em> sits at 61%<\/strong> on Rotten Tomatoes<\/a>, where critics singled out Malek and the smarter, more character-focused approach, while also knocking the formula-heavy plotting and lighter action. Audiences were far more enthusiastic, pushing it to 87% on Rotten Tomatoes, with help from a supporting cast that includes Laurence Fishburne, Rachel Brosnahan, and Caitr\u00edona Balfe.<\/p>\n\n

If moody espionage thrillers are your thing, and you want something that sits close to Bourne<\/em> without feeling like a copy, this one’s an easy pick<\/strong>, even if the sequel chatter from director James Hawes and star Rami Malek is still unofficial.<\/p>\n\n

You can stream The Amateur<\/em> now on Prime Video<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
