back in my youth it be always the case that movie bad guy be pretty much an uncomplicated bunch . the enemy use to be either red indian or the german . then come the ira ( for u brit ) and the russian . sinister foe who be willing to go that one step far for their cause . since 9/11 a far more fearful enemy have appear on the scene . a brain wash enemy that be willing to die in the name of religion the fundamentalist muslim . because of the terrify prospect of what they have do and what they could do again and hollywood have jump on the band wagon and profit from a string of movie about the subject . none of which have be outstanding yet most have be entertain . traitor fit perfectly in that bracket . when straight arrow fbi agent roy clayton head up the investigation into a dangerous international conspiracy and all clue seem to lead back to former u. s. special operation officer and samir horn . a mysterious figure with a web of connection to terrorist organization and horn have a knack for emerge on the scene just a a major operation go down . the inter agency task force look into the case meet with carter and a veteran cia contractor who seemingly have his own agenda and max archer and fellow fbi agent . the task force link horn to a prison break in yemen and a bombing in nice and a raid in london and but a tangle of contradictory evidence emerges and force clayton to question whether his quarry be a disaffected former military operative or something far more complicated . obsess with discover the truth and clayton track horn across the globe a the elusive ex soldier burrow deep and deep into a world of shadow and intrigue . i like don cheadle . i can forgive him for one of the bad ever english accent in the ocean film because despite that he be normally very good at his trade . he be brilliant in boogie night and i love his performance reign over me . his performance be probably the best thing about traitor . although thoroughly entertain and this film have nothing new in it to recommend it any more than say the kingdom or body of lie and if you have see either of those film you have see traitor . it good to see guy pearce too . a highly underrated actor who have hardly put a foot wrong since his day in the extremely naff australian soap opera neighbour . his best performance to date be the lead in the stunning movie momento . this film remind me a lot of the u tv series sleeper cell . don cheadle character be ask to basically do the same thing in this a darwyn al sayeed do do in that show . to sum up traitor be 2 hour of fast flow predictable fair that be hard to criticise but be also difficult heap praise on . positive .
