Review of Our Kind of Traitor (2016) by Car F — 11 Jul 2016
Our Kind of Traitor only has two major things going for it. First of all, the cinematography is beautiful with many wide shots, nicely designed set pieces, and a unique stylization. Second, the story is unique as it's not just another spy movie.
Twists and turns are abound and the conclusion is not what you expect from this type of movie. However, that's it. The acting is only ok as the characters emit little to no emotion. The plotting is also horrendous.
The first act is too slow as it takes forever to the story to get going. The second act is fine as the tension builds and the pacing is perfect. However, the story all falls apart in the final act. Unbelievable things happen and events become predictable.
This also leads to an underwhelming ending. Overall, Our Kind of Traitor looks very nice and has a unique spy story, but it's let down by somewhat poor acting and horrendous plotting.
