Dorks turn deadly in The Amateur, a serviceable espionage thriller with an admittedly novel gimmick: what if an assassin is too much of a wimp to pull the trigger? If you’re a broken-hearted tech whiz with an appetite for international vigilantism, you find work-arounds. Like dumping pollen on someone with allergies. Or exploding a 16-story-tall glass sky pool with the swimmer still in it. Life hack! Think Revenge of the Nerds, but with a body count. Or a Geek-Squad Dr. Phibes.

Intrigue abounds, but doesn’t quite satisfy, in tightly-wound cyber-security thriller

Dying is easy, comedy is hard: that cheeky chestnut encapsulates the strengths and weaknesses of Bong Joon-ho’s joyously silly Mickey 17, a semi-hilarious and half-baked sci-fi satire that delights in debasing human life. Watching someone bite the dust feels horrible. But it’s unsettling how easy it is to watch—especially when the person dying takes it all in stride. “Have a nice death.
