Traitor
Traitor is a tense drama of international intrigue that spreads from North Africa and the Middle East to the USA and even Canada. Don Cheadle stars as Samir Horn a Muslim born in Sudan who grew up in Chicago with his mother after his father perished in a politically motivated Sudanese car bombing. A stint as an army covert operative left him an explosive expert but because of conflicting allegiances he’s now a black market merchant selling C-4 to any terrorist with cash. This lands him in a prison in Yemen where he meets Roy Clayton (Guy Pearce) and Max Archer (Neal McDonough), FBI agents curiously “advising” the local authorities. Samir forms an allegiance with Omar (The Kite Runner’s Saïd Taghmaoui) a middle management terrorist who breaks out of jail and takes the potentially useful Samir with him. Their rescuers are senior trouble makers living in France and plotting a 9/11 follow up involving numerous busses blowing up simultaneously at random American locations and Samir seems to be the answer to their 5 times daily prayers. It would be a betrayal to say more about Samir’s sympathies but save for Boundary Bay curiously being named as a gateway to the United States rather than the totally isolated Pt. Roberts the rest of the story is chillingly real as Samir's loyalty is tested while agents Clayton and Archer come to the realization of who and what they find themselves chasing.
