New Release Review - "The Amateur" 
1981's The Amateur was an early entry in the wave of '80s Cold War thrillers that simultaneously exploited both the public's growing interest and general ignorance of computers. Rather than a James Bond figure, the protagonist was a nerdy codebreaker who becomes a proto MacGyver, using brains rather than brawn to seek revenge for the killing of his wife by terrorists. The use of technology in the movie was absolute hokum, but 1981 audiences simply didn't know any better and assumed that maybe an arcade machine could be reconstituted as a code-breaking device.
