Soap2Day | Relay- The Best Cable Movie of 2025 (Review)

Soap2Day in now streaming Relay- The Best Cable Movie of 2025 (Review) | Relay (2025) is a sleek, modern thriller that feels like a total throwback to the suspense-driven movies of the ‘90s—and in this Relay movie review, I’ll break down how this film works as both a tense character piece and a high-tech cat-and-mouse game, even if it wasn’t entirely for me.

In this Relay (2025) review, we’ll talk about how Riz Ahmed delivers a strong and measured performance as the lead—bringing quiet intensity and control to a movie that leans on mood and tension more than big action or spectacle. His performance anchors Relay, and it’s clear he knows exactly what kind of movie he’s in.

One of the most intriguing elements of Relay is its use of the Relay communication system, which the filmmakers turn into both a clever narrative device and a metaphor. It adds real texture to the film’s themes of control, distance, and trust—making this more than just a genre exercise. The way the system is integrated into the plot is both beautiful and unnerving.

That said, I’ll also be honest—Relay (2025) isn’t totally my kind of film. Its slower pacing and grounded tone might leave some viewers cold, especially if you’re looking for twists and fireworks. But despite that, there’s one moment in the third act that genuinely caught me off guard in the best way—and reminded me why I stick with movies like this even when I’m not fully vibing with them.

If you’re into 90s-style thrillers, love Riz Ahmed’s work, or are just curious about a more cerebral, grounded take on modern tech paranoia, Relay might surprise you. This review dives into what works, what doesn’t, and why this kind of throwback filmmaking still has a place in 2025.
