Traitor: I’ve been betrayed!
Movie Reviews September 8th. 2008, 9:22pmIt’s not the next Bourne Identity. It wants to be The Spy Who Came in from the Cold, but it’s just not that good. Don Cheadle should have stayed in the hotel Rwanda and waited for a better project. The subject matter could have been thought provoking. We could have been shown different perspectives of Faith and Politics, but once again the lowest common denominator wins out. That is the fear of upsetting ethnic/political groups and the assumption movie goers are stupid and afraid to see anything that may make us think. The result is a standard no surprise journey where we know the good guy is the good guy despite what everyone else says and we are supposed to sympathize with the bad guys because they have been misled by their leaders. Oh, and the CIA is doing shady things!
Score one for the trailers. I had hopes of a decent movie, but now I feel betrayed.
