The Operative

In a gripping espionage thriller, Diane Kruger stars as Rachel, a young Western woman recruited by the Mossad to go undercover in Tehran, where she becomes entangled in a complex triangle with her handler Thomas (Martin Freeman) and her subject Farhad (Cas Anvar). With its character-driven focus on human drama rather than high-octane action, "The Operative" offers a refreshingly grounded take on the spy genre.
