Movie Reviews of TraitorMovie Review: Very good movie Summary: 4 StarsThis movie offers a good peek into Islamic belief. Mind you, I said a PEEK, not a complete overview or anything like that, of course. I enjoyed listening to the conversations between Samir and various Muslim men, especially the one he met at the prison and made friends with, their conversations were very enlightening and I learned a few new Islamic expressions.
The idea of double agent is carried out rather well. I don't want to say too much in case of spoilers, but I will say that this movie takes advantage of the double agent idea very well and the scenes and pacing are rather even. It's also very exciting, since Samir is faced with some very tough choices, and also goes through a lot - he has to stay on his feet and a step ahead of both groups, which makes for a compelling movie.
Summary of TraitorAcademy Award? nominee Don Cheadle (Hotel Rwanda, Crash) and Guy Pearce (Memento, L.A. Confidential) star in Traitor, a taut international thriller set against a puzzle of covert counter-espionage operations. When straight-arrow FBI agent Roy Clayton (Pearce) investigates a dangerous international conspiracy responsible for a prison break in Yemen, a bombing in Nice and a raid in London, all clues seem to lead back to former U.S. Special Operations officer, Samir Horn(Cheadle). But a tangle of contradictory evidence emerges, forcing Clayton to question whether his suspect is a disaffected former military operative-or something far more complicated. Obsessed with discovering the truth, Clayton tracks Horn across the globe as the elusive ex-soldier burrows deeper and deeper into a world of shadows and intrigue. Traitor is written and directed by Jeffrey Nachmanoff (screenwriter of The Day After Tomorrow).
Special Features: Audio Commentary Featuring Director Jeffrey Nachmanoff and Actor Don Cheadle Action! The Stunts And Special Effects of Traitor International Espionage: An In-Depth Look at Traitor's Exotic Locations
An action film rich with politics, espionage, and complicated characters, Traitor is an engrossing film in which the lines between right and wrong are anything but clear and the threats of terrorism and conspiracy across the globe seem startlingly real. Sadim Horn (Don Cheadle) is a devout Muslim, once trained and employed in engineering and explosives by American Special Forces, who has chosen to settle in Afghanistan. FBI agents Clayton (Guy Pearce) and Archer (Neal McDonough) begin investigating an uncooperative Sadim in an Afghanistan prison because of his connections with terrorist Omar (Sa?d Taghmaoui) and, as events unfold, uncover ties between Sadim and several international bombing incidents. As agents Clayton and Archer follow Sadim around the world, Sadim's dedication to his faith becomes abundantly clear, as does his involvement in an international bombing conspiracy. What's less than clear in all the contradictory evidence is the nature of Sadim's role in the conspiracy--specifically, which side he's really fighting for. Traitor is an action-packed, suspenseful film with strong acting talent and a disturbingly real message. Bonus features include audio commentary by director Jeffrey Nachmanoff and Cheadle, an "Action!" featurette about the film's stunts and special effects, and a look at the production's exotic filming locations. --Tami Horiuchi Stills from Traitor (Click for larger image) Beyond Traitor  Traitor + Digital Copy [Blu-ray] |  More from Don Cheadle - Reign Over Me (Widescreen Edition) |  More from Anchor Bay - Righteous Kill
