October 24, 2009Pleasantly surprised by this superior B-movie terrorism thriller - all to plausible plot chills as you comprehend its implications for world security.

October 14, 2009As a thriller, Traitor excels and feels especially relevant, considering the subject matter.

August 16, 2009Pretty good movie, but it's nothing I haven't seen before. The acting was very good though.
-
June 29, 2009A decent espionage thriller with the focus on terrorism. Entertaining film with a bit of a different plot than most being offered. Cheadle, Pearce and Taghamoui portray their characters in outstanding fashion.

November 3, 2009un film qui se laisse voir sans déplaisir mais qui ne restera pas dans les mémoires.Le réalisateur n'arrive à instaurer de la tension que réellement à la toute fin du film, embêtant pour un film entièrement construit comme un thriller.Un bonne prestation tout de même de Don Cheadle.

October 31, 2009A very solid flm that decides to take a lower key approach to exploring terrorism and what drives people to do what they do. As intrigiung as it is, the sense of danger / threat that was probably needed to make this a genuinely grippiing thriller is not present. For what it is th...( read more)

Armond White, The New York Press
Martin sacrifices tough satire for apolitical piety. Traitor could have been called Patriot, but the latter notion is unfashionable. full review
August 27, 2008
Ty Burr, Boston Globe
Traitor offers up one of the more maddeningly, gratifyingly complex lead characters seen in movies lately. full review
August 27, 2008
A.O. Scott, The New York Times
Traitor, a somber, absorbing and only moderately preposterous new thriller written and directed by Jeffrey Nachmanoff, manages an impressive feat of economy.

Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com
Traitor is an earnest, efficient, serviceable thriller that makes a valiant effort to untangle some of the moral complexities of the post-9/11 world. full review

Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune
Cheadle usually melts seamlessly into his roles. He's less convincing here, however. full review

Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle
[A] tense, talky and unusually thoughtful spy thriller. full review

Claudia Puig, USA Today
Traitor can't seem to decide whether it wants to be an edge-of-the-seat action thriller or a more contemplative and intellectual drama about religion and terrorism. full review
August 26, 2008
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Don Cheadle is such a good actor. If he were more of a showboat, he would be a bigger star. But he remains the go-to man for a film like this. full review

September 22, 2008Don Cheadle because of his low-key mannerism will never be a megastar despite the fact that he is a first-rate actor. Traitor gives you a solid feel of what it is actually like to be an undercover operative. Umlike the cartoonish Bourne series and the much vaunted 007 films this is realism that hits you in the gut!!! you want more??? join the DEA.
