Relay Might Be the Next Great Corporate Espionage Thriller


But it’s the rare movie where I might recommend leaving ten minutes before the end.

In Relay, however, the service is used to maintain anonymity by a man ( Riz Ahmed) whose name might be Tom, or Ash, or something else, a cool, methodical professional who helps protect whistleblowers that have had a change of heart. In Relay, Ash gets hired by Sarah Grant (Lily James), a scientist working for an agrobusiness firm who’s made off with a huge report detailing the adverse health effects of genetically modified crops. It’s not quite a love story, but it is a romance — a bluesy, boozy, defeated one, with clasped hands, muted farewells, final glances at moving trains.
