I usually go to Malco's reviewers and then Rotten Tomatoes, to see what the consensus on a movie is. Well after going to see this movie with some very hardcore friends/critics, we all agree, the professionals are getting paid off! If... Full review

This is an excellent movie. This was evident by the fact that while the movie was playing the audience stayed absolutely quiet. Usually when a movie is a clunker the audience starts fidgeting and becomes restless. This movie kept the audience's... Full review

Don Cheadle selected another excellent role for himself in a movie that tells the tail of Jihad from the Western and Muslim perspective. If you are expecting an action flick, this is the wrong movie for you. Traitor focuses more on... Full review

For the life of me, I still can't figure out why Traitor is getting such poor promotion, but if I were the studio I'd be trying my damnedest to get people into the theatre to this. It has got a great... Full review

"Traitor" promises to be one of the first mainstream American movies to actually get into the mind of an Islamic terrorist, but about halfway through, it loses the courage of its convictions and opts for Hollywood artificiality instead. Don Cheadle plays... Full review

I was offered a ticket to a screener last Wednesday, and when I heard Don Cheatle was in it, couldn't pass it by. I am not a huge fan of action/suspense/spy movies, but this one was a cut above the normal.... Full review

Whether "Traitor" accurately depicts Arabic Muslims (or Muslims in general), however, is another matter. When the wheels of the convoluted, complicated storyline arent turning, "Traitor" is an often thought-provoking, intelligent drama that explores, if not always successfully, the struggle within Islam between accommodation and extremism. ...

Traitor is smart and confidently assembled; it packs a satisfying punch, especially to those who come to the movie cold. Directed by Jeffrey Nachmanoff, Traitor is amazingly light on its toes, erecting a maze of captivating intrigue and sprinkling around a few effective, plot-smashing twists to underscore the unexpectedly charged emotional content. ...

Everyone knows terrorism is a deadly threat, but movies like "Traitor" that depict Muslims as evil or confused, trade motive for manipulation, and end up with little more than ugly stereotypes. Let's put "Traitor" behind us and get started with post-post-9-11 cinema, where talented Middle Eastern actors won't just get to play sympathetic terrorists. ... Full Review

It occasionally works as both, but never at the same time, and the ending adds up to a patently obvious line of dialogue"the fight is far from over"that would be more suited for a cheesy comic book movie. Written and directed by Jeffrey Nachmanoff, a screenwriter (2004's " ") at the helm of his first feature, "Traitor" is bogged down by confused, contradictory ideas and a narrative that poses as a cat-and-mouse thriller even as it wants to be taken as more serious-minded adult fare. ...

Traitor, the Don Cheadle-starring terrorist espionage thriller, is directed by relative newcomer Jeffrey Nachmanoff, whose only other feature-length film is an obscure 2001 stoner comedy called Hollywood Palms and whose only other feature-length screenwriting credit is for the 2004 disaster... ...

On the surface, "Traitor" is a terrific espionage-type thriller that is not only entertaining but intelligent. It reminds me of "Syriana" and "The Constant Gardner" - both from a few years ago - in that all went well beyond chases... ... Full Article
