I really liked this story. Maybe a bit of a mix up of things we've seen before, but in a special way, and nicely done. Don Cheadle is a great actor. I'm glad that we see everything trough another perspective in this film.

Like Taken, Traitor is a decent action-thriller hamstrung by bad race politics. While Taken reveled in its shitty, right-wing xenophobia, Traitor takes an embarrassingly liberal tack. Although its tacit message is the acceptance of Islam as a religion of peace, the subtext is still thoroughly anti-Arab-American, as a black man is cast in the role of the "model Muslim," and the overwhelming majority of the "real terrorists" are Arabs. These deeper problems are never satisfactorily addressed.

I recommend this movie based on Don Cheadle's strong performance. He does a great job with his role and he greatly adds to the story. There are a few slow moments but overall this is a good film.

Traitor is a film that's not bad, but just average. Apart from its actors and the depth given to the terrorist group featured within, there's nothing special and nothing worth seeing. The story loses steam mid-way through, and the only reason I wanted to keep watching was the obligation I felt not only to the actors, but to myself -- I needed to find out how it ended. But it wasn't worth my time, and I don't think it's worth yours either. It's not terrible, but it's not that enjoyable either.

This needed to be more like MUNICH and delve into the psyche and reasons of each person. The religious aspects of Samir Horn were neither interesting or insightful. Blowing up building to crosscutting with Pearce as a fast-talking cop is messy structuring. There's also too much location hopping - from Madrid, Barcelona, Chicago, DC, Columbia, Yemen and even France. I was intrigued that Steve Martin was a co-writer, and there's definitely a few memorable one-liners. Briefly thrilling.

I liked the "bus twist" at the end , the rest i can just say enjoyable

Propaganda film.

nothing special, nothing you'll remember for a long time, but fun to watch, don cheadle was cool

Martin sacrifices tough satire for apolitical piety. Traitor could have been called Patriot, but the latter notion is unfashionable.

It hits a lot of bad clichés, but it also manages to subvert a few in unexpected ways (at least I wasn't expecting them), so it gets extra points there. Most of the middle third is a bit meh and it's trying so very hard to be Jason Bourne, but it's not horrible.

"An intellectual and philosophical lost cause." - Ed Gonzalez

Great ending, but it took too long to get there.

It's got a great climax, but the lead-up to it felt really slow and uninteresting. Honestly, there's just been a glut of these Middle-Eastern terrorist thrillers lately and Traitor just doesn't stand out as very unique (despite some engaging performances from Cheadle & Pearce).

Don Cheadle does just fine here in this mixed-bag terrorist thriller mixing 'Bourne' with 'Syriana.' Ultimately it fails to distinguish itself, and it also fails when it comes to engaging its audience - even though I stayed interested, the film doesn't tell its story as well as it ought. Its moral ambiguity is a bit mind-boggling, but it does its best at exposing the darkness and light of Islam. How much of this is credible I don't know, but it's not a bad movie, just not an exciting one.

meh...
