Surprisingly, not so bad
I went into this film thinking it might be kind of a cringy cop or FBI movie, just in general I guess. Rami is super cool, I've always like him in films. Turns out, it's an interesting if not all that groundbreaking plot, the story moves along well enough and it's quite fun. I can't say for sure if there were any lead FBI peeps or even the president of the United States of America as Native American Indian women or that nonsense. There might have been and it's been a while since I watched The Amateur, but I'll give it a woke-free pass.

Good, not great
It's definitely worth the time to watch. The tic on the wokeness meter is due to the typical scenario of a strong boss woman with morals going against an arrogant white dude. Actually, that's a half tic rounded up. It's tolerable. Most of the best parts of the movie are in the trailer. The swimming pool scene was classic. The final showdown against the bad guy was clever. The acting and directing are top tier.
