Transcript
00:00I want to face my wife's killers.
00:03You can't do what I do no matter how much I train you.
00:06You're not a killer, Charlie.
00:08You're just a slight little nerdy fella who likes to work on computers.
00:12Charlie's not your typical CIA agent.
00:16He's not an action hero.
00:17He's the amateur.
00:19He's really an intellectual and not a physical guy.
00:23This is about a man who loses his wife in this horrible way, and that sets him on this
00:28journey to avenge her death.
00:30I want to find and kill the people who murdered my wife.
00:33Rami being such a gifted actor is bringing a whole kind of complexity and nuance to it
00:39that I don't think we've seen before.
00:41Maybe y'all misjudged this individual.
00:44I love these films.
00:46There are so many for this genre that I've always aspired to be a part of and never thought
00:52possible.
00:53To put myself in a position where I thought I could pull it off as an amateur, I think
00:59that's quite relatable.
01:02We are all heroic to some degree.
01:04Do you ever account for the things I'm good at?
01:24Yes.
01:25Yes.
01:26Yes.
01:27Yes.
01:28Yes.
01:29Yes.
