**When this movie begins, logic leaves the room.** I saw this movie very recently, but I had no high expectations other than the work of McGregor and Skarsgard, two actors I consider generally solid and committed to each project in which they are involved. I greatly appreciate a good spy movie (James Bond movies were the first to arouse this interest, many years ago) and it's always pleasant to see a good suspense plot. However, the screaming flaws of this movie are so blatant that it is difficult to enjoy it without a certain bitter mouth. I do not question the efforts of director Susanna White, I am convinced that she did what she could with the cast, crew and producers in charge. The proof is that it technically has no obvious flaws: it has good sets, some good action scenes and some dramatic loading (very few considering the theme and the kind of film) and a regular cinematography, which did not use the iconic landscapes of the places where action is taking place, but still gives us a little of these environments. The big failure is the absence of a consistent dramatic tension fortified by a good script. The audience sees the film with the interest of those who are seeing adver
Read the whole review on TMDB**Caught between the spies and a mafia gang.** I cannot voice for others, some of them did not like it, but for me this is a good film and I enjoyed it. This is a British thriller based on the book of the same name. Directed by not a so popular woman filmmaker and I think she did an awesome job. Very impressive storyline, completely unpredictable, but I felt I knew this tale and that was just because of this being too simple and yet emotionally appealed. Yep, I was not expecting that, it was a surprise and in the end, I happy that I saw it despite many negative responses. This is a story of a London university professor Perry, who meets a Russian man called Dima during vacationing in Morocco with his wife. A simple meeting becomes a normal friendship, but later Dima reveals his true identity and asks him for a favour. Perry tries to do what Dima asked for, but that puts the couple in a tight spot. So now they're caught between the two people, not knowing how it all ends, the film in the next half is to reveal the result of the tale. I liked the line that said when Perry asked Dima why did you choose me? Not just the British actors, but Stellan Skarsgard looked so great, even in his
Read the whole review on TMDBA SCREEN ZEALOTS REVIEW www.screenzealots.com “Our Kind of Traitor” is the perfect anti-summer summer movie: it’s a thoughtful, talky, decidedly adult spy thriller that’s elevated by exceptional performances from top-notch acting talent and a clever, sharp script. You aren’t going to find lots of shootouts or pointless action scenes here, it’s the situations that will keep your mind actively guessing from start to finish. Director Susanna White instead chooses to focus on brains not brawn, and the result is an engrossing dramatic film with much greater depth than I expected. Perry (Ewan McGregor) is a university professor who is on a getaway in Morocco with his barrister wife Gail (Naomie Harris). While sitting alone in the hotel bar, he strikes up a conversation with Dima (Stellan Skarsgård), who turns out to be a Russian mobster whose family is on the fast track to execution by even badder bad guys. Dima requests that Perry hand deliver a flash drive with secret information to the British government upon returning to the U.K. and sensing the imminent danger to the man’s family, Perry obliges. Soon after, Perry is approached by MI6 agent Hector (a standout performance from Damian
