"Traitor" is a movie that can please both ends. It makes those who like to watch their skills happy, and those who like thinking get rational. The plot of the story is not so ups and downs, and even ends with a bland ending like retreat by completing the task
.
From the perspective of the story system, "Traitor" is still a typical Hollywood commercial film, but Guizai's screenwriter added race, terrorist activities, and political conspiracy to the film. The main line of the film's plot is not uncommon in the endless action spy films, and the abuse of the subject matter also shows its playability. Directors and screenwriters all want to inject more fantasy into such a traditional structure, so such a story full of conspiracy and mystery gradually takes shape in the hands of digital masters. Later, in the film, it can be found that the spy wars, thriller duels, and conspiracies depicted in the film's lavish ink splashing are nothing but decorations attached to a simple main line. This main line is actually the story of a man who strives to pursue justice

In terms of the story system and narrative structure, all the tension and anxiety of the film are based on whether the protagonist's identity is exposed. But the film provides a new perspective to reexamine terrorism. The director tried to use dialectics to explore how nationalistic hatred breeds, and how the power of religion turns an ordinary person into a human bomb. "Traitor" does not rudely demonize terrorists with colored glasses, nor does it simply entertain and facialize it with a nonsensical mentality. The "terrorists" in the film also have a yearning and longing for a better life. They lead the normal lives of ordinary people, and they also have doubts and fears about suicide missions. But when the terrifying bosses continue to brainwash him with faith. After receiving the instructions to act, these ordinary people felt like they were under a spell and plunged into it and couldn't help themselves. "Traitor" uses an entertainment film shell to tell a relatively serious theme with an undercover story of a black Muslim with faith. The neutral position allows the film to discard prejudice and prejudice. These efforts have increased the connotation of the film without affecting the overall observability. However, there are still some points to be discussed in the handling of some plots and details. Don Cheadle, who plays the role of Seymour Horne, has a remarkable performance in the film. You can still feel the character's inner struggle strongly from his calm expression
