Relay (Screen Unseen: R: 2025)

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.
