David Mackenzie’s Thriller Relay Stars Riz Ahmed, Lily James Exposing Corporate Cover-Up

News summary

The new thriller "Relay," directed by David Mackenzie, centers on corporate whistleblower Sarah Grant (Lily James) who steals incriminating documents exposing her company's dangerous cover-up. Riz Ahmed stars as Ash, an expert fixer who brokers deals between whistleblowers and corporations while maintaining complete anonymity through the use of the Telecommunications Relay Service, a technology originally designed for the deaf and hard of hearing. The film explores the high stakes and moral complexities of whistleblowing, with Ash acting as a guarded, off-grid intermediary who protects his clients from ruthless corporate retaliation. Critics praise Ahmed's compelling lead performance and the film's taut, suspenseful pacing set against a kinetic Manhattan backdrop. The use of vintage communication technology underscores themes of secrecy and isolation, and the narrative highlights the personal costs whistleblowers face, including surveillance, harassment, and career destruction. Overall, "Relay" combines strong talent and an intriguing premise to deliver a modern thriller that reflects on the dangers and sacrifices inherent in exposing corporate malfeasance.
