Watch Our Kind of Traitor For Free

Sorry, this movie sucks

This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Fell asleep after 1/2 hour. Unlikely opening premise (would YOU go to a excessive party by that guy after knowing him a few minutes?) and zero action. This is supposed to be a thriller? Bah.

Not the best big-screen adaptation of a John LeCarre novel but even a second-rate LeCarre offers its pleasures. The plot of "Our Kind of Traitor" may be a tad far-fetched but then the plots of most good spy yarns often are. The Cold War having ended it's the Russian Mafia who take centre-stage here and as the Russian oligarch who wants to defect Stellan Skarsgard is one of the best things in the picture. Indeed, it's well cast throughout, (Damian Lewis is particularly good as a cynical MI6 operative), and typically there is some nice location work nicely shot by DoP Anthony Dod Mantle. If the director Sussana White doesn't do anything particularly innovative with the material at least she doesn't muck things up. Minor, then, but also surprisingly entertaining, too.

Based on the John LeCarre novel and co-scripted by him.I always felt LeCarre had lost his way a bit after the whole Circus and Smiley's people thing. But this modern look at the Russian Mafia / oligarch scene is worth the price of admission. By no means a summer BLOCKBUSTER but a good tale well told with great photography and a well acted script.And the usual LeCarre twist at the end...

I like a good spy film so I thought I would give this film a watch and as you can probably tell by the summary I found this film incredibly boring as dull. The premise of this film sees a married couple on holiday get approached by a Russian gangster who wants him and his family moved to England to be protected in exchange for secrets. Ewan McGregor plays a professor in the film that is approached by this gangster and he does an alright job in this film. He gives as good a performance as he can but his character is just so dull, there is nothing interesting about him in this film and I will be surprised if you end up caring about him in this film. Stellan skaarsgaard plays the Russian gangster in this film and his performance is very mixed, overall I thought he did an alright job but at times he is just so over the top and cartoony with allot of his performance. Damian Lewis plays the British agent in charge of this investigation and he gives the best performance In this film. I thought he added quite a bit of depth to his character in this film and I liked his line delivery as well. There are times where he comes across as over the top but he overall overcomes it and gives a decent performance. Naomi's Harris plays McGregor's wife and I think she was pretty miscast in this film, her chemistry with McGregor is just nowhere to be seen and some of her line delivery is extremely awkward especially when she has to swear. The story in this film is so convoluted and confusing that you really won't have a clue what is going on and why it is happening. Nothing about this story is interesting and you will not care enough to try and figure out what is really going on. The script has some pretty decent over the top humour in in that will actually make you chuckle in this film, but the dramatic dialogue just falls so short that as mentioned before doesn't help these characters at all. The style of this film is painfully boring, The films pacing will just add to this films flaws and make it just hard to care about. Overall I don't think anybody should watch this film because it is so boring and just not worth the 2 hours of time.
