This is a fairly enjoyable movie with some good elements. 'The Amateur' has its strengths, though it's not without flaws. It's a decent way to spend a couple of hours.

'The Amateur' is okay - it has some good parts and some weaker moments. The acting is generally decent and the story is passable, though nothing particularly memorable.
