00:01My wife was murdered.
00:03I want to go after Sarah's killers and kill them myself.
00:09You might be the smartest person in the CIA, but you're just not a killer, Charlie.
00:13I can't make you into something that you're not.
00:16You're just a little nerdy fellow who likes to work on computers.
00:19In The Amateur, Charlie Heller is an unexpected hero who embarks on this quest for justice.
00:27He's an underdog who takes on this journey because of the love he has for this person
00:34he's lost.
00:35And along the way meets a succession of other wonderful characters.
00:39If precisely as I say, and there is a slight chance, you may come out of this alive.
00:44I've been a fan of Rami's for a while, and these characters that we're playing, the relationship
00:49in terms of master-teacher gives us an opportunity to really, really find some wonderful things
00:54to play together.
00:55Take it!
00:56Aye!
00:57Now!
00:58Laurence Fishburne provides a real presence, a real authority.
01:01It's brilliant acting on the part of Laurence.
01:04Same with Jon Bernthal and Rachel Brosnahan.
01:08And then you have Katrina who brings this vulnerability, but at the same time as tactically clever as
01:15Charlie.
01:16I've got your man.
01:17Charlie, you should get out of there.
01:20There's so many great performances that are so powerful when you see who all the players
01:26are in this film.
01:27It's really gifted actors with a fresh take on the world of intelligence.
01:32He's playing us.
01:33He practically invented half of our surveillance.
01:35I was very aware that we had a great script.
01:38It would attract great actors, and they brought it.
01:42It was day in and day out, working with the best of the best.
01:46Are you done?
01:47Have you had enough?
01:48No, I want them all.
01:49No, I want them all.
