Our Kind of Traitor

2016 · 1h 48m · Thriller

IMDb 6.3 Metacritic 57 RT 72%

Skip it. This Le Carré adaptation has all the ingredients for a solid spy thriller—exotic locations, intrigue, intelligence agencies—but it plays out like a half-baked wannabe that mistakes convoluted plotting for sophistication. Even with a solid cast, the bloated middle drags and the payoff doesn't justify the tedious journey.

Plot

A young Oxford academic and his attorney girlfriend holiday in Morocco. They bump into a Russian millionaire who owns a peninsula and a diamond watch. He wants a game of tennis. What else he wants propels the lovers on a tortuous journey to the City of London and its unholy alliance with Britain's intelligence establishment, to Paris and the Alps.

Director: Susanna White

Cast: Ewan McGregor, Stellan Skarsgård, Damian Lewis, Naomie Harris, Jeremy Northam
