Relay (out Aug 21) keeps you thinking and keeps you on your toes. It's an excellent spy thriller with a heightened focus on "method". Instead of using the two hours to create backstories regarding families and love interests, it gets into the nitty-gritty of “spy work” and the creative ways they avoid detection. It's fun, slick entertainment with a great lead performance from Riz Ahmed. Grade: A-.
