This movie really showcases Alfred Molina's talent. He's not stuck playing the usual comic relief or villain - he's a charming lead character. First time actor Ido Port is also pretty impressive as Pr... offy - a precocious young boy that finds a father figure in Molina's Sgt. Dunlop. It's a great coming of age story with a dazzling view of Israel. Full Review

I saw the Little Traitor at the Mariemont in Cinciinnati and thought it was just wonderful. The acting is very touching and the photography of israel is gorgeous. I really felt like I was in Israel ... in 1947. I'm recommending tit to my friends and their children. Full Review

So many historical movies are just overbearing and a slog to get through. The Little Traitor really gives you just enough historical background for the events to serve as a backdrop for the primary st... ory - an unlikely friendship between an Israeli boy growing up in Palestine and an English soldier trying to keep the peace. Alfred Molina (Spider-Man 2, Chocolate, plays Sergeant Dunlop, a kindhearted soldier who befriends a precocious young boy named Proffy (Ido Port), who fancies himself a crusader for Israeli independence. The friendship proves tricky for them both, as Dunlop's fellow soldiers are weary of the boy, and Proffy's friends end up seeing him as a traitor for befriending Dunlop. Dunlop and Proffy each grows through the adversity they face and end up being the stronger for it. Full Review
