for illustrating the difference between Muslim and terrorist
The story of Traitor is that of Samir, played by Don Cheadle, who is undercover trying to get at the heart of a terrorist organization, and of Roy Clayton, played by Guy Pierce, as the FBI Agent fighting the same battle from the outside.
The thing I found most compelling in the movie is how it shows that Muslim does not equal terrorist and that terrorist does not equal Muslim. Samir is a Muslim, but he believes the terrorists are misusing their religious texts to justify their actions. The movie is a slow struggle for Samir between what he wants to do and what he must do to catch the terrorists.
I think every actor here did a superb job with their roles, and the story kept me riveted. I’ve seen there are others who don’t agree, they found the film to be boring, they wanted more action, but I thought the film was quite good just the way it was.
