Editorial Review: Product Description: 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 Bonus Disc with Digital Copy of Traitor For Portable Media Players Amazon.com: 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 (Saїd 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, a disturbingly real message, and stellar Blu-ray picture and sound that puts viewers right in the middle of the action. Bonus features include audio commentary by director Jeffrey Nachmanoff and Cheadle, an "Action!" featurette about the film's stunts and special effects, a look at the production's exotic filming locations, and BD-live capability. Also included is a separate digital copy for use in portable media players. --Tami Horiuchi Stills from Traitor (Click for larger image)

![]() Rating: - Don't but it for the "Digital Copy"The Digital Copy that ships on DVD is practically useless. It is incompatible with Mac, Ipod and iPhone, Zune, and only works with a Windows PC and a select few Media Players that support the defunct "PlaysForSure" format that Microsoft created but even they no longer support. I do have one of the supported media players, and a PC that meets all the requirements, but even so I cannot get the Digital Copy to transfer. I spent 45 minutes trying to transfer, rebooting etc, but no joy. Read More Rating: - An Average Thriller With Tons of Wasted Potential...Throughout both 2007 and 2008, moviegoers saw what seemed like an endless string of movies focusing on or around the ongoing War on Terror. For a majority of these films, which ranged from character dramas ("Stop-Loss" or "Grace is Gone"), political thrillers ("Lions for Lambs" or "Rendition"), to just good ol' fashioned action films ("The Kingdom"), the response from audiences was far from welcoming. Most of these titles, along with a few others I didn't mention, suffered through a rather brief stint ... Read More Rating: - Very good movie, but poor blu-ray qualityThe movie itself is great, the 3 stars go to blu-ray quality, for a brand new movie I'm bit disappointed, scenes with grainy images was 1/4 to 1/3 of the movie, even on day time shots. The blu-ray James Bond movies from 60's are amazing and Traitor from 2008 it's poor to average(image quality wise). Rating: - Good movie with intense contentThe movie was very good but some may not like it due to the subject matter. It isn't as much an action movie, more about beliefs and convictions of those associated with terrorism. Don Cheadle gives an amazing performance as usual. The ending is especially satisfying. The blu-ray video quality was good, nothing special. The audio is TrueHD but I don't think it added as much compared to other blu-rays with lossless audio. Surrounds were not prominent even during some of the action sequences. Rating: - Don Cheadle elevates an otherwise average movie Don Cheadle is one of my favorite actors, and one of the best in Hollywood. His role as Paul Rusesabagina in Hotel Rwanda is breathtakingly good. So despite mixed reviews, I knew I'd be watching TRAITOR. I'm very glad I did. The War on Terror, the Iraqi occupation, and America's role in foreign affairs has been a popular topic in film of late. While most of these films were of poor quality (not the material just the films), and few had commercial success, these movies have intrigued me to ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
