Traitor (2008)

It’s hard to talk about this movie without revealing some of the twists and turns the plot takes. Don Cheadle is a Muslim, Sudanese-American who joins up with a terrorist organization and is thus tracked down by FBI agent Guy Pearce. It follows an unsurprisingly common thread for the early 2000s. I enjoy anything Don Cheadle is in and he carries this film on his back. Pearce manages a fairly decent portrayal as American law enforcement, giving Cheadle something to play against. Jeff Daniels and Archie Punjabi add quality in roles that could have been beefed up to the film’s betterment.
