DVD Reviews of Traitor
DVD Review: Ho-hum thriller
Summary: 3 Stars
The Bottom Line:
Traitor displays a level of intelligence that's welcome in such genre entries but that unfortunately doesn't counter the fact that as a whole the film is uninvolved and often slow; I respect the efforts made by all parties involved but Traitor is not really a movie I'm glad I saw.
2.5/4
DVD Review: Good Movie , Bad Digital Copy

Summary: 4 Stars
movie kinda developed slowly. not too much of a plot. would rent first before buyingDVD Review: Jeffrey Nachmanoff Hits It Out of the Park
Summary: 5 Stars
As a former spy and leading critic of the $65 billion a year spent by the secret world, I normally limit my DVD intake to hotels and airplanes, but this one attracted my attention and deservedly so.
This is one of a tiny handful of decent depictions of the spy world, and I want to note that Jeffrey Nachmanoff, a name most will not notice, was also the screen writer for The Day After Tomorrow (Widescreen Edition).
The over-all plot is credible, well-acted, well-filmed, and I was pulled in to give this my undivided attention. The subtleties of inter-agency competition and non-sharing were well integrated.
Bottom line: a top-notch offering all the way around, but I want to single out Nachmanoff for getting it right. He's a talent to watch.

DVD Review: Sleeper Cell part 2?
Summary: 4 Stars
I am torn with this movie. Yes, it was VERY well done, and acted, but I personally feel it was all done better in the show Sleeper Cell. I feel alot of inspiration for this film came from there, I couldn't stop seeing Don Cheadle as Michael Ealy. Now with that said, this movie is VERY worth seeing and is deep and provocative, tho a lack of action here and there.
Description of Traitor
Academy Award? nominee Don Cheadle (Hotel Rwanda, Crash) and Guy Pearce (Memento, L.A. Confidential) star in Traitor, a taut international thriller set against a puzzle of covert counter-espionage operations. When straight-arrow FBI agent Roy Clayton (Pearce) investigates a dangerous international conspiracy responsible for a prison break in Yemen, a bombing in Nice and a raid in London, all clues seem to lead back to former U.S. Special Operations officer, Samir Horn(Cheadle). But a tangle of contradictory evidence emerges, forcing Clayton to question whether his suspect is a disaffected former military operative-or something far more complicated.Obsessed with discovering the truth, Clayton tracks Horn across the globe as the elusive ex-soldier burrows deeper and deeper into a world of shadows and intrigue. Traitor is written and directed by Jeffrey Nachmanoff (screenwriter of The Day After Tomorrow).
Special Features:
Audio Commentary Featuring Director Jeffrey Nachmanoff and Actor Don Cheadle
Action! The Stunts And Special Effects of Traitor
International Espionage: An In-Depth Look at Traitor's Exotic Locations
An action film rich with politics, espionage, and complicated characters, Traitor is an engrossing film in which the lines between right and wrong are anything but clear and the threats of terrorism and conspiracy across the globe seem startlingly real. Sadim Horn (Don Cheadle) is a devout Muslim, once trained and employed in engineering and explosives by American Special Forces, who has chosen to settle in Afghanistan. FBI agents Clayton (Guy Pearce) and Archer (Neal McDonough) begin investigating an uncooperative Sadim in an Afghanistan prison because of his connections with terrorist Omar (Sa?d Taghmaoui) and, as events unfold, uncover ties between Sadim and several international bombing incidents. As agents Clayton and Archer follow Sadim around the world, Sadim's dedication to his faith becomes abundantly clear, as does his involvement in an international bombing conspiracy. What's less than clear in all the contradictory evidence is the nature of Sadim's role in the conspiracy--specifically, which side he's really fighting for. Traitor is an action-packed, suspenseful film with strong acting talent and a disturbingly real message. Bonus features include audio commentary by director Jeffrey Nachmanoff and Cheadle, an "Action!" featurette about the film's stunts and special effects, and a look at the production's exotic filming locations. --Tami Horiuchi
