'Our Kind of Traitor': MI-6 stepping on its wiener . . .

Posted by Billy Wonka on October 28, 2016 at 22:23:22:
Pery (McGregor) and Gail (Harris) are trying to reset their marriage by spending a long holiday together in order to get over his philandering with one of his college students. One evening they are sitting and the hotel lobby where quite a commotion is going on. They are Russians doing their oligarch thing. Stellan Skarsgard (Dima) spies Perry (after Gail went up stairs) and tries to befriend him by offering a drink. Dima is your basic Hollywood over-the-top Russian that people would want to run away from. Not wanting to offend a group of thuggish types he reluctantly joins them and ends up in a very mysterious set of circumstances.
The invites for tennis and Dima's daughter's birthday party are all a ruse for him to press Perry into service to give MI-6 a thumb drive that will show all the major money laundering accounts and operations. It seems there is a leadership change going on in organized crime and Dima wants to save his family from the impending assassinations that will be coming their way.
Perry does his British duty and promptly turns over the drive to Damian Lewis at the airport and then becomes ensnared and pressed into service by Lewis' group in order to bust the Russians and his former political rival.
Great production values, good script, action, and personal performances. Skarsgard shines again. The movie flows but has a weak link in Lewis' performance of the MI-6 guy manipulating Perry and Dima.
This film will initiate you into the Russian Mob.
