This was one of the most slow paced movies I have ever seen. The plot was good, but poorly executed. The movie felt much longer than two hours and felt like it never really got started. The acting was fine, but... Full review

Traitor is a reasonable effort at merging the thriller genre with an exploration of religious fanaticism, yet it fails to fully deliver on either front.....Frustratingly, the underused Guy Pearce isn't given enough dramatic meat with his character, playing nothing more than a one-dimensional 'straight down the line' agent.....Nonetheless, seeing Don Cheadle showcase his talents in a rare leading role scores the movie serious brownie points..... ...

writer-director Jeffrey Nachmanoff struggles to get the tone right.....it's ultimately disappointing, thanks to an uneven tone and an unintentionally laughable finale.....There are several problems with the film, the biggest of which is.... ... Full Review

It's a gripping and satisfying film - and thought provoking. The fact that Steve Martin has a hand in the storyline (with director Jeffrey Nachmanoff) is an extra credential in its favour; the story is smart without being obvious, the action intelligent and the characters well developed. ...

Different roles draw him in for different reasons: the chance to work with a certain director, to play a particularly intriguing character, or in the case of "Traitor," to be a team player in a movie with an interesting take on current affairs. After playing a string of heavy-duty roles, Pearce tried his hand this year at family-friendly comedy. ... Full Review

Great performances from Don Cheadle, Guy Pearce, and Jeff Daniels almost make Jeffrey Nachmanoff's film worth a rental, but the lackluster Blu-Ray presentation doesn't help a film that already had some serious problems become more than a marginal recommendation. ... Full Review
