TRAITOR is writer/director Jeffrey Nachmanoff's powerful rumination on post-9/11 foreign affairs wrapped up into a taut contemporary spy thriller. Balancing the film's sometimes conflicted ideological heft is Don Cheadle, who turns in a smartly even-keeled performance as Samir Horn, a Sudanese-born, Chicago-raised former U.S. Army Special Forces operative.

i generally like don cheadle's acting, and i always find movies about the middle east interesting. the plot was good, but there wasn't anything extraordinary about it. good action scenes, ok plot, and some good cinematography. sadly that's all i can say, just ok.
