Covertly vanishing from public life is made possible by 'Relay's services, but one must consider the potential pitfalls of isolation.
In the upcoming white-knuckle thriller, "Relay", set to open in wide release on August 22, audiences will be drawn into a cat-and-mouse chase reminiscent of a Thomas Perry novel. The film, with a running time of 1 hour and 52 minutes, promises to offer more room for smart, punchy cloak-and-dagger options.
The film centres around the character of Sarah, a biotech scientist played by Lily James. After finding herself on the run with incriminating documents about her former employer, Sarah seeks protection from harassment and a return to normal life. She is provided with a mysterious number to call, leading her to the tech-savvy fixer, Ash, played by Riz Ahmed.
Ash, a character known for his expertise in navigating secret truces with those out to get you, helps potential whistleblowers escape danger, but may also offer cash as an alternative. He communicates with his clients through a text-telephone service used by hard-of-hearing people with message-relaying operators.
Throughout the film, Ash puts Sarah through a series of tests and instructions regarding burner phones, mailed packages, and travel itineraries, as they work together to evade those pursuing them.
The commanding direction of David Mackenzie, known for his work on "Hell or High Water", is evident in "Relay", with the film praised for its sleek cinematography and fleet editing. However, the director of the film is not explicitly found in the provided search results.
The screenplay for "Relay" is written by Justin Piasecki. The film is rated R for language. "Relay" is also noted as a superlative case of adult peekaboo, alongside another 2023 release, "Black Bag".
With its gripping storyline, compelling characters, and masterful direction, "Relay" is not a film to be missed when it hits cinemas on August 22.
