Relay Ratings & Reviews
- Timeless Cinema7 september 2025A quiet thriller that's incredibly intelligent. The acting sells the character driven narratives, while the story provides some refreshing surprises through the end.
- Aaron18 september 2025The main actor is great. Pretty good suspenseful movie. Slight twist wasn’t quite expecting but def led me there. Worth the watch
- Flx23 maart 2026Great thriller with a little weak ending. Didn't like the plot personally, but still a solid movie.
- Prince Ibra20 september 2025Legend Twist
- Sinawomak14 maart 2026Awesome movie great thriller
- Enes Şahin5 maart 2026In my opinion, it's a unique, interesting, and unusual film. It has a different script, and I can definitely say that's good. I only got bored during a few scenes. Otherwise, it was a fluid film. The ending was a good twist. I definitely recommend watching it. Such unique scripts are rare. I only found the beginning a little boring. Other than that, it was quite acceptable. I gave it a 6 out of 10. Definitely give it a chance.
- Rob Logan | The Geek Generation8 februari 2026Really solid thriller with lots of cat-and-mouse games led by Riz Ahmed who accomplishes a surprising amount with how little he actually speaks. There's one aspect that I could have done without, but that doesn't arrive until close to the end, so the bulk of the film holds up really well if you can get past that. Well worth a watch.
- jforceflix17 september 2025Very good watch
- delphi091 februari 2026Good Story and cool hinds and a surprising finale
- rob.izard@rogers.com25 januari 2026I thought Riz Ahmed was excellent in this sorta thriller. Interesting plot and takes a few good twists and turns to keep you involved
- cmartino196716 september 2025Nice twist.
- Rehan Shivani15 januari 2026The tension stays tensioning, the plot twists actually twist, It’s the kind of movie where you’re like, “wow capitalism is wild".
- Hakihiko6 januari 2026A Steady and Engaging Thriller "Relay" is a film that knows exactly what it wants to be: a taut, character-driven thriller that keeps you invested without ever resorting to unnecessary complexity. It's not a groundbreaking masterpiece, but it delivers solid entertainment with enough tension and emotional grounding to make it a worthwhile watch. The strength of "Relay" lies in its pacing and structure. The story unfolds with confidence, balancing suspenseful set pieces with quieter, character-focused moments that add depth without slowing the momentum. There's a clear sense of rhythm that keeps the audience engaged from start to finish. Performances are a strong point. The cast delivers believable and grounded portrayals, giving weight to the stakes and making it easy to care about their journeys. Characters are written with enough nuance to avoid clichés, and the interactions feel natural without ever drifting into exposition. Visually, the film is competent and purposeful. The direction doesn't call attention to itself, but it effectively supports the story, keeping the focus where it should be - on the people and situations at the center of the narrative. The soundtrack complements the tone well, enhancing tension and emotional beats with a thoughtful touch. "Relay" isn't the kind of movie that surprises you at every turn, but it understands its strengths and plays to them well. It's engaging, well-crafted, and grounded in solid performances - a film that earns its place as a reliably entertaining thriller.

- masterlukas771 januari 2026Very good, I had no expectations and I was nicely surprised
