I'm not sure why this movie recieved so much criticism and such low grades. Granted, it is not a popcorn flick for the masses, nor was it intended to be. This is an extremely smart film that takes a... different perspective than others of its kind and it keeps you guessing throughout the duration about what will happen and even what side Don Cheadle is actually on. In fact, Cheadle, as always, gave a great performance and deserves praise for it. Full Review

This is a very realistic and well done movie. It is a thriller and actioned packed. It should have received more promotion than what it did and Cheadle should get an oscar for his performance. This ... is a movie that all Americans should watch to remind us of what we have to be thankful for and the sacrifices that are made to protect our way of life. 5 stars! Full Review

This was GREAT! Can't say enough good things about it. I saw a bunch of movies this past week and this is one was by far the best of them! Don Cheadle is the man for sure and Guy Pearce was good as ... always. Full Review

The film is a genuinely gripping tale about international terrorism that hopscotches across three continents.Full Review

Kirk Honeycutt
The Hollywood Reporter

The film's a propulsive international espionage thriller, built on the hurry-scurry bones of the "Bourne" movies.Full Review

Ty Burr
Boston Globe

The movie proceeds quickly, seems to know its subject matter, is fascinating in its portrait of the inner politics and structure of the terrorist group, and comes uncomfortably close to reality. But what holds it together is the Cheadle character.Full Review

Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times

Without its mesmerizing lead performance, Traitor easily could have devolved into direct-to-DVD fodder.Full Review

Nathan Rabin
The Onion (A.V. Club)

An uncommonly intelligent espionage thriller that explores the moral and ethical dilemmas faced by agents who go deep undercover in the service of their country.Full Review
