This writing and directing debut by actor Martin Donovan starts of a bit boring and without much sense of direction, but when the main protagonist, a writer with a slipping career, gets taken hostage by his war-veteran neighbour, the script get a lot more tense and interesting. In spite of that, Collaborator fails to engage the viewer with more than some preachy dialogues between the actors and a romance angle by an ex-girl friend. It's not bad, but it could have been a lot more appealing.
