The Amateur
227 head-to-head matchups and still no clear verdict on The Amateur. 51% means the room is essentially split — a genuine coin flip every time it shows up in a bracket. A thriller built to hook early — taut setup, clean premise, immediate stakes. The question is whether that first impression holds when voters encounter it next to films with deeper roots. Decisions land in 0.8s on average — too fast for deliberation. This is pure instinct.
Synopsis
After his life is turned upside down when his wife is killed in a London terrorist attack, a brilliant but introverted CIA decoder takes matters into his own hands when his supervisors refuse to take action.
The split doesn't budge. 55% in the opening round, 49% in the semis, 42% in the final — The Amateur is contested at every stage, with neither side able to pull away.
The closest rivalry is with The Accountant² at 49% — a matchup tight enough that a handful of votes could flip the lead. The Amateur owns Heads of State at 100% but The Hangman flips the script entirely: just 25%.
