Watch Traitor For Free

Best movie of this year hands down!

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

I watched this back when it came out on DVD and only vaguely remembered it until watching it again now on Tubi.It reminds me of Sleeper Cell and Homeland which are two awesome shows.It twists and turns and has great acting.Well worth the time.

***SPOILERS*** The conflicted and all screwed up life of US special operation sergeant Samir Hom,Don Cheadle, is tested by both his adopted country the USA and his religion Islam in him going through with a planned terrorist attack against the US on of all days Thanksgiving that involves the destruction of 50 cross country buses carrying hundreds of unsuspecting and innocent civilians. Forced to go undercover as an Islamic terrorist Samir was already involved in a terrorist attack on the US consulate in Nice France that killed 8 people. Now he's told by his US controller Carter, Jeff Danials, to provide the explosives that can kills almost as many US citizens that were killed back on 9/11.It's US CIA agent Roy Clayton, Guy Pearce, who got wind of Samir's working for the US Government not against who it who tried to get him to reveal those terrorists like his good friend Omar, Said Taghmaoui, plans to blow up America. With Samir not really trusting anyone, including Agent Clayton, he decides to go it alone leaving himself open to be killed by the both the terrorists as well as US Government's homeland security agents. That by him secretly planting all the explosives with the 50 designated Islamic terrorists and their American victims. And he did it in a way that no one including the terrorists as well as Agent Clayton ever expected.***SPOILERS*** We get to see Samir finally see the light in just who his friends as well as enemies are. Even though he works for the US Government Samir was still a loyal and practicing Moslem at heart but he soon realized that those he worked with-like Omar- actions were anything that had to do with his faith or religion. Which like him witnessing as a young boy his father being blown to bits in a terrorist car bombing back in the Sudan. He knew that those terrorists that he was secretly working for were no better then those who murdered his father and in the end acted accordingly.

A "War On Terror" Movie is Never going to be Universally Accepted, at least Until there is No More "War On Terror". Even the Proclamation and the Definition are Ambiguous, Fleeting, with Dissent Everywhere.While the Film tells the Story of an Individual "Bomb Maker" and all around Genius (Guy Cheadle), and Succeeds for the most part to be Up Close and Very Personal concerning the Motivation, Religious Philosophy, Devotion and Dedication to the "Cause" and all of that Feels Real enough, the Enormous Political State of the World Intrudes.It Suffocates the Narrative trying to be an End All. There are Flashes of "Holy Book" Readings and Devotees of All Stripes manipulating Justifications for all kinds of Bad Behavior. Americans are Not Given a Pass and Neither are the Muslim Extremists.It's a Snake Eating its Tail. Circular Logic and the Nullification comes from a Reality that has been with Us since the Beginning. There are No Winners, Only Losers. Noble, but Frustratingly too Real a Contemporary Global Problem, and after it's all over there is a Residue of Doom that Resides in the Viewer.Overall, the Movie is want to Explore these Dilemmas, Paradoxes, and Conundrums in a Two Hour Action Drama. Seems a Futile Experiment in Entertainment and Enlightenment since it has Yet to Be Done in Two Millenniums.

what a thought provoking movie,, it really makes you think about what is going on today in the Middle East ,, Afghanistan, all of those places. Jihadists are a tricky bunch you don't wanna make them mad,, apparently our main character Semir seemed to feel betrayed, and decided that he was gonna single handedly get back at all of those who had done him and his religion wrong for so many years,, interesting footage of a might be Jihadist might do in a terrorist situation,, like making a bomb for instance,, um the suicidal bomber,, stuff like that,, this movie is not so much into action as it is more of a political thriller type,, it shows the emotions of many of the jihadists and what they are going thru,, i'm not sympathizing with them i'm just saying some of it is interesting to see what happens from their point of view.
