October 24, 2009Pleasantly surprised by this superior B-movie terrorism thriller - all to plausible plot chills as you comprehend its implications for world security. The intelligent well informed script is aptly delivered by a cosmopolitan cast headed ably by Cheadle and Pearce. An overlooked ...( read more)

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 15, 2009It was slow to get into this. A fairly decent film though it has to be said. Especially with the current climate I felt it was a harsh reminder of the way thingd were right now

November 11, 2009Great cast, especially between Don Cheadle and Guy Pearce. They both do a lovely job in their parts. It was interesting to see the development of both men's characters.

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

Ty Burr, Boston Globe
Traitor offers up one of the more maddeningly, gratifyingly complex lead characters seen in movies lately. full review

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

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.
