Relay Review
‘Relay’ Uses A Neat Hook To Channel Classic ‘70s Suspense Thrillers. In David Mackenzie’s ‘Relay,’ Riz Ahmed and Lily James headline a tense but uneven little paranoid thriller based around a unique communication gimmick. Featuring a terrific central performance from Riz Ahmed, ‘Relay’ is styled very much in the mold of classic paranoid thrillers from the 1970s like ‘The Parallax View’ and ‘The Conversation.
’ It’s not quite as intense and expansive as those, and its third act falls back into a series of rote reveals and action beats, but for its first two-thirds, the film builds an impressive level of tension and dread – not to mention that its primary plot device is an ingenious hook for the story.
