Relay

We saw this at the mystery movie Monday special at our local theater. We went into it asking each other "what is this?". The movie sets up slowly but man was it worth the wait. I was on the edge of my seat nearly the entire movie. So many good twists, so many close calls, and a very well thought out and untraceable plan on our protagonists end in delivering his messages. The movie was executed amazingly and the end twist involving another character was slightly predictable but overall still very fun and well done. My only regret is not knowing what happened with one of our villains but maybe that is setting up for a second film.

Would absolutely recommend people watch this.

Bought a ticket for a mystery movie and it ended up being Relay. After a long day at work I just wanted to relax and let my mind go. This movie was perfect. I really enjoyed it. It had suspense, some action, romance and some slow bits. No one walked out of the movie so it seems everyone else enjoyed it as well.

Great concept but felt the movie lacked overall substance and depth. Only lightly touched on some key themes or concepts but didn't dive deep on them resulting in plot points feeling wishy washy. This resulted in the movie having moments where it felt impactful but then it quickly moved on without having that same moment included in other parts of the movie making you question what the point was to include it. This resulted in some timing being off with moments that felt impactful and others that felt boring and making you question.

Honestly I love the concept of this movie, how one finds someone like this idk, but goodness would this be great if it existed. Also relay being a legit service would be amazing, sure it would be crossing some lines and be used by the wrong people, but what a excellent idea for keeping things private and off record. The story and emotions with this one are good, but i predicted the ending at some point along the way. Not enough action for me to want to keep a movie like this in a collection but I truly did enjoy it.

Saw at AMC for movie unseen on 8-11-2025.

People sometimes find themselves in unfortunate situations with seemingly no way out. That's where Ash, played by Ahmed, steps in-as a mediator who ensures both sides can walk away clean, with no strings attached and no need to look over their shoulders. A clean break. Unsurprisingly, Ahmed is brilliant. With limited dialog in the first half of the film his body language and mannerisms allows his presence to be felt. Also, shoutout to the wardrobe department for making him a master of disguise. This film is really engaging, thrilling, and with well timed moments of comedy at times. Thought I felt the runtime was a bit long the story is compelling enough to make it worth the watch.
