“Has it ever gone wrong?” “Sometimes we have to walk away…” Bleecker Street has unveiled the trailer for a movie called Relay, a clever thriller from filmmaker David Mackenzie (of Hallam Foe, Spread, Perfect Sense, Starred Up, Hell or High Water).

A world-class “fixer” is enlisted by an alluring, unpredictable whistleblower in a “twisty, confident homage to classic paranoid thrillers”. A broker of lucrative payoffs between corrupt corporations and the individuals who threaten them breaks his own rules when a new client seeks his protection to stay alive.
