This decent spy thriller stars the erstwhile Mr. Robot as a CIA cryptographer who doesn't need a gun to avenge his murdered wife.

The other is The Amateur, a frustratingly old-school thriller in which the most modern element is not the top-notch computer hacking that's crucial to its plotline, but focusing its story of a "wife guy.

As star of “The Amateur,” in theaters Friday, Rami Malek gets to be both skittish nerd and coolly competent angel of death. He’s the homebody and perpetual rule-follower who in grief-stricken madness decides to blackmail his bosses and go on an international killing spree to get the people responsible for her death.
