Riz Ahmed & Lily James to Lead Thriller From 'Hell or High Water' Director

Plot details about the film are still vague. However, according to a summary from Black Bear, Relay will star Ahmed as Tom, "a world class 'fixer' who specializes in brokering lucrative payoffs between corrupt corporations and the individuals who threaten their ruin. He keeps his identity a secret through meticulous planning and always follows an exacting set of rules. But when a message arrives one day from potential client Sarah (James), needing Tom’s protection just to stay alive, the rules quickly start to change." No other casting for the project has been announced.

That sounds a really cool premise. I hope they don't waste it by going down the generic action-route (e.g. this 'fixer' also just happens to be ripped as **** and able to fight like Jason Bourne ).
