Christopher B A very hit or miss action/suspense film that stars Don Cheadle who I think is a decent, albeit boring, actor and he can very do little with the script and in the end we are left with a rather bland film. While there are some good chase sequences and well done action scenes the majority is rather underwhelming cohesively. A decent rental or lazy afternoon film but one that I wouldn't highly recommend. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 12/08/22 Full Review isla s This is a well made thriller, with a good performance from Don Cheadle. Its not exactly original or entirely memorable but its an entertaining watch with some good explosions/special effects. Its fairly atmospheric and makes for a decent watch but no more. I wouldn't expressly recommend it but its not bad either - make of that what you will. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member I have just finished watching this and I am struggling to remember how it started. Oh yes, Dan Cheadle is selling explosives to terrorists, call this point A. And with that, we know how it will end, call this point B. In between there are the unsurprising steps to get from A to B. There is no tension. One interesting story point happens just before the end. Mostly it felt like a TV episode. The credits say that the story was written by Steve Martin, the comedian, on his own. I think the point was to look at the motivations of terrorists, which it did fairly well. As a thriller it did not so well, but not unwatchable. Guy Pearce is hardly in it. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review William L Traitor is one of those films that you find on daytime TV halfway through the runtime; it's a decent enough action film that could have taken a much deeper dive into its deep plant setting (feels at times like a simplified, Middle Eastern conflict take on Infernal Affairs/The Departed) but does enough to be entertaining. There are a few straglling plot holes and the characters could have made a more lasting impression, but there is some tension to the standoffs. Taghmaoui has been somewhat quietly building a decades-long resume of major roles in top-budget films, and even if he's not given much to work with, he feels like a good fit. The real victim here is the poor bus driver who somehow managed to end up driving 30 suicide bombers. Mostly forgettable, but not bad. (2.5/5) Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 12/23/20 Full Review Audience Member Although there are some cliche tropes peppered within the film, it was still entertaining none-the-less. Surprised to see Steve Martin's hand in the project as this was definitely not a comedy by any stretch.
