don cheadle select another excellent role for himself in a movie that tell the tail of jihad from the western and muslim perspective . if you be expect an action flick and this be the wrong movie for you . traitor focus more on personal relationship than high tech weapon . the movie make good use of the actuals tactic and methodology of present day jihadist . but some of the term and such a the halawas and could be well define . the way the movie portray interaction between american security agency be interesting and but good represent the cold war era than modern day . the limited information present about cheadle past also leave just enough for the imagination to wonder . the one negative be that archie panjabi character be not develop enough . she do a solid job with the few line she be give . however and a more developed panjabi character would have add more depth to cheadle . overall and very good movie that make you think .
