hollywood may be comprehend that the movie with political and war subject saturate the taste and they leave the unhappiness from north american people satisfy . the one who be already convince do not need any more while and the one which match with the aggressive foreign policy from the united state will not stop support the pro america practice . however and that have not stop many filmmaker from look for new material while in other word and they be more interested to focus on the peripheral aspect of war and instead than focus on the war itself . so and we have see movie like in the valley of elah and stop loss and which offer discourage vision of the soldier who come back from war while movie like lion for lamb and rendition and syriana and which examine the ideology behind the conflict while and finally and movie which could belong to the action genre if it be not because of their political message and like the kingdom and body of lie . but we have never see the conflict from the enemy point of view and and because of that and traitor be a refreshing and fascinating portrait of the cause which motivate the rebellion and disgust against the north american expansion . the screenplay from this movie have unsuspected level of intellectual and emotional provocation . screenwriter jeffrey nachmanoff ( who be also the director from this movie ) and steve martin ( the famous comedian ) refuse to bring u easy answer about the ideological conflict and and they portrait a discourage vision of international politic and where concept like loyalty and treason be neither good or bad and but only useful tool for manipulate opinion and public perception or legislation . traitor be a truly audacious movie which go more far away from the easy complaint of patriotism and human right which other movie make and show u that in fact and the world work on a grey scale and and not on the simplistic black and white the politician want to make u believe . but and besides of all the ideological background from this film and traitor work perfectly a an ambiguous and incredibly tense thriller and which have perfectly develop character who occupy their ambiguous position without reveal their clear porpoise and provoke a delicious suspense on the spectator and at the same time it be difficult to know where the story will take u . nachmanoff direction be sober and something which work very well on the context from this movie . the performance be excellent and not only the one from the great don cheadle and but also the one from the support cast and where the member who mostly stand out be saïd taghmaoui a a terrorist and jeff daniel a a security contractor and which be a role where this underrated actor show his wide range and which go more far away than the family film where we usually see him . the only fail i find on this movie be that the end could have be a little more polished . but and in spite of that and i recommend traitor with a lot of enthusiasm and because it be an excellent movie which do not only entertain very much and but which also leave the spectator thinking .
