Based on the Robert Littell novel of the same name, the movie from director James Hawe (Slow Horses) stars Malek as a brilliant, introverted CIA decoder who turns vigilante when his wife Sarah (Brosnahan) is killed in a terrorist attack in London.
Also produced by Malek, the film is now available to rent or buy on digital retailers including Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV and Sky Store at Home.
Upon its cinema release in April, Digital Spy branded the movie a “gripping” spy thriller in our four-star review, saying the film may “scratch an itch” for Slow Horses fans.
