Is “Traitor” Another “America Created the Islamic Terrorists” Movie?
By Debbie Schlussel
Is “Traitor“–the movie coming out in late August a/k/a movie hell, where all bad movies are sent–yet another movie, which blames America for Islamic terrorists? It looks like it based on the trailer (below) and the movie synopsis.
What do you think? It stars Don Cheadle as the U.S.-trained Islamic terrorist and Jeff Daniels as some shadow operative/U.S. government handler of Cheadle. (Full disclosure: For several years, I was a celebrity golfer at Daniels’ charity golf tournament benefitting his Purple Rose Theater. Another full disclosure: I stink at golf.)
When strait [sic] arrow FBI agent Roy Clayton (Guy Pearce) heads up the investigation into a dangerous international conspiracy, all clues seem to lead back to former U.S. Special Operations officer, Samir Horn (Don Cheadle). A mysterous figure with a web of connections to terrorist organizations, Horn has a knack for emerging on the scene just as a major operation goes down. The task force links Horn to a prison break in Yemen, a bombing in Nice and a raid in London, but a tangle of contradictoy evidence emerges, forcing Clayton to question whether his quarry is a disaffected former military operative – or something far more complicated. Obsessed with discovering the truth, Clayton tracks Horn across the globe as the elusive ex-soldier burrows deeper and deeper into a world of shadows and intrigue.
As always, I will, G-d-willing, review it when it comes out. Stay tuned.
Review it? Thanks, but don’t bother. I wouldn’t waste my money on it Anti American dripple.
