Our take

Riz Ahmed plays a broker who protects whistleblowers through cutouts and coded calls in this M-rated thriller. Corporate conspiracy tension, gun threats, bloody injuries and frequent profanity run through the dialogue. The tone is a smart adult thriller rather than action spectacle. Best for mature teens who handle dialogue-heavy crime stories.

Uplifting themes

Protecting truth and doing the right thing drive the broker's work

Story (may spoil tone)

A broker of lucrative payoffs between corrupt corporations and the individuals who threaten them breaks his own rules when a new client seeks his protection to stay alive.

Talk after watching

  • Whistleblowers risk everything to expose wrongdoing. What would make speaking up worth the danger?
  • The broker hides identities to keep people safe. When is secrecy necessary and when is it harmful?
