Upon its release, The Amateur met with mixed critical response, and it grossed $96 million at the box office. In an interview with Screen Rant, Malik revealed that he did some improvisation in the film. He said,

"I found myself just wanting to hold onto that person through the tactile nature of their belongings, and that's what I thought. It separated this character from a lot of other action heroes."

He recalled being influenced by other actors.

"I go back to learning from other actors. I remember being on Paul Thomas Anderson's film The Master, and I would watch the great Philip Seymour Hoffman and Joaquin Phoenix and Amy Adams do these things in the moment. I'd never seen kind of improv moments done so... well, not diverting too far from text or anything. These moments would just come out of just knowing that character and being in the element."
