High-Stakes Action, Stellar Cast, and a 4.5-Star Thriller Ride Buckle up, because “Relay” (2025) isn’t your average action flick; it’s a pulse-pounding ride that draws inspiration from the gritty spy classics of the 1970s and catapults them straight into today’s world of constant surveillance and data paranoia. Led by Riz Ahmed, Lily James, and Sam Worthington, the cast brings electric energy to a story saturated with suspense, secrecy, and morally gray decisions.
