Review of Traitor (1971) by Dylan D — 19 Sep 2013
Traitor plays out a bit better than it should, thanks in large part Don Cheadle's first-class performance. The film suffers from predictability, though several scenarios play out well enough to veil the limited script.
Once the film's big revelation is made known halfway through the film, Traitor loses steam and becomes a far-too-average thriller that is just good enough to keep audiences watching through to the end, but doesn't engage them in any way.
As such, Traitor is a film worth watching, but at days end it's just another thriller, perhaps standing slightly taller than the competition.
