Traitor

The question one keeps on asking through the entire movie is - is the protagonist a traitor or not?

The movie starts with a US citizen Samir Horn (Don Cheadle) in the Middle East selling bomb detonators to Islamic radicals (Traitor!). He is arrested and thrown into prison where he befriends a dangerous man who escapes taking Don along him (Traitor, again!).

Don is taken into the belly of the terrorism beast, where he meets the big players and becomes an integral part of a massive attack on US (Traitor, yet again). 

But then we find out Don Cheadle is a former US soldier (Traitor or not?), but he is also a devout Muslim (hence the suspicion - how can a devout Muslim be a soldier loyal to US? Aren't those two the opposite ends of the spectrum? Traitor!). 

We also find out he is working deep undercover for an American agency (Not Traitor!), but he is also with the terrorists now and has taken part in a vicious terrorist attack (he has bombed an embassy and has killed some innocent people). He is a terrorist now! 100% pure, unadulterated, genuine, without a doubt Traitor!) 

And as the movie zips (and zags) along you will see that things keep on changing and he is not what he seems to be! Or is he exactly what he seems to be? Confused? Watch Traitor and find out for yourself.

  

As his own men start suspecting him one doesn't really know which side he is leaning towards - is he a terrorist or is he still a spy? Is he feeling betrayed and hunted by the own agency? And if he is still a spy how can he stop the massive attack the terrorists have planned now? 

Traitor is a taut thriller that grabs you from the get go. Quite like Eye In The Sky this is an edge of the seat stuff. A thriller, spy, drama that's quite remarkable and the ending is quite ingenious and unique. A must watch.
