You Are a Traitor!

Traitor - 5 out of 5 stars

Imagine the best movie you have ever seen with no major flaws and lots of suspense to keep you on the edge of your seat. Traitor is that movie. Traitor is about an ex-U.S. military soldier who becomes a terrorist and flees the FBI with enough action to make you want more by the time the movie ends.

The main character is Samir Horn, played by Ocean 11’s Don Cheadle. He is a Sudanese American and was once a soldier of the U.S. Army Special Forces. He remained in Sudan to connect with his religion. There he becomes an arms dealer that is being chased all over the world.

The movie begins in Sudan where Horn is in the middle of an arms deal, when he and his customers are captured and thrown in jail (I don’t want to ruin how he escapes). In jail he develops a close friendship with an agent from Nathir, the local terrorist group. Later on he supplies Nathir with explosives to be used in a plot against the U.S. There is a big twist half-way through the movie that really surprised me: it turns out that Horn is an undercover spy with the U.S. government infiltrating Nathir to destroy them from the inside.

Traitor follows the same plot as Catch Me If You Can; a guy threatens the U.S. and is chased all over the world until he is cornered by federal agents. Throughout the movie you will be taken from Sudan to Spain, France, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Washington D.C..

There was only minor confusion but it was all cleared up moments later.
