Traitor (2008)

"Those post 9/11 thrillers just keep on coming. Hot on the heels of Body Of Lies, Vantage Point, Rendition, The Kingdom and the rest is this one, with Don Cheadle (Hotel Rwanda, Oceans 11) playing a Sudan-born American Muslim, who may or may not be a dangerous Jihadist bent on blowing up the Western world (it won't take a supergenius to suss things out long before the 'bombshell' moment)."

"The movie's first hour is well-done, but realism and insight go out the window as soon as Samir crosses the U.S. border."

"Brandishes physical verisimilitude and intelligent seriousness but proves unable to really get inside its chameleon-like central character."

"A somber, absorbing and only moderately preposterous new thriller."

"The film is stylishly shot, although the current action-movie look might be dated in a few years."

"The movie proceeds quickly, seems to know its subject matter, is fascinating in its portrait of the inner politics and structure of the terrorist group, and comes uncomfortably close to reality. But what holds it together is the Cheadle character."

"The film is a genuinely gripping tale about international terrorism that hopscotches across three continents."
