‘Traitor’ web reviews

I have to admit I totally forgot about the Wednesday release of Jeffrey Nachmanoff’s “Traitor.” Starring Don Cheadle, Guy Pearce and Jeff Daniels, the film centers on a U.S. special operative who turns his back on his government and starts working with a terrorist group.

LatinoReview's Ron Henriques: "With today's current events, 'Traitor' walks on thin ice with its story, but succeeds at entertaining while not becoming too political."
