Traitor: So far, best of the year.....

This is a big-budget production spinning modern day terrorism that is both entertaining and enlightening as to how it works. It will remind you of "Traffic" or "Flight 93" with its parallel plot lines that cross over each other from time to time but it is far more cinematic in its storytelling.

Cheadle plays a young man raised as a Muslim in Yemen who witnesses his father's car-bombing when he was young. He remains a devout Muslim but is raised in the USA becoming a Special Forces trooper who fights in Afghanistan and Bosnia. He decides to leave the service in Europe and retrace his roots which lead him to being taken in by a terrorist cell.

The cast is excellent with Guy Pearce, Jeff Daniels, and many other recognizable faces delivering a fast-paced action story. The film shows the classic non-cooperation between agencies and their penchant from keeping each other in the dark.

Solid four outta five. IMO, the best so far.
