Review of Our Kind of Traitor (2016) by Ginak — 02 Jul 2016

I will give Our Kind of Traitor a marginal “green” rating because I enjoyed it, but I don’t think it’s a great film. The pluses were a beautifully photographed first third, excellent performances by Stellan Skarsgard and Damian Lewis, and direction that didn’t fall into the trap of a lot of film adaptations of Le Carre novels – slumber.

For once a Le Carre adaptation that moved along and didn’t feel overly detailed and insanely slow. So if you have had it with brain-deadening Marvel hero movies, sequels to old successes, and kiddy films, you might enjoy this one.

I did – most of the time.
