Traitor

Ho hum. It tries very hard to be complex and thoughtful (while maintaining its wish to have large explosions every ten minutes). But it’s completely see through and predictable. You can see the joins a mile away. Don Cheadle is Don Cheadle, which means he’s never bad but it is inconceivable from the first scene in which he appears that he could be anything other than a morally conflicted and doubting good guy. Guy Pearce does his not unusual, thoroughly competent, American cop guy. Quite decent music early then it become Hollywood normal.

There were three of us in the cinema. A couple up the back who looked as if they were involved in an office affair and had gone somewhere cool, quiet and dark to neck. And me. Can a cinema survive on $24 income per session?
