: I think the title of the movie should be translated into "Traitor" to be more appropriate. It may not be as eye-catching as "Traitor", but it can better show the complexity, contradiction and confusion that run through the movie from beginning to end—— While these elements are trivial in a mainstream commercial film -- even, it seems, they're not worth mentioning -- but it is they that more or less pop up in an already over-made subject like "counterterrorism" A hint of bright color.
: "Infernal Affairs" popped into my mind when the intelligence officer who had single-line contact with Semir and who only knew the true identity of his undercover agent was killed. It's a pity that the plot development after the movie failed to capture this wonderful plot to make an essay, until the final sloppy ending - to be honest, that ending is a bit bad, it always reminds me that this is a commercial movie, you can't expect it to end up for you How much chewy and evocative digging, although much of the movie feels like it's trying to get you to dig... a pity.
: The undercover identity in "Infernal Affairs" was given to a "policeman"; the undercover agent in "Traitor" was a "Muslim" - in fact, these two points are not comparable, in fact, I just want to say - the current society has How distorted is the "police" understanding, think about how the vast majority of Americans understand and view "Muslims". There are many imprints on them that are man-made, and a handful of them can't represent all of them at all, and they are far from their essence. (This feeling has little to do with the movie itself, and is considered a digression.)
: But the movie did make me interested in the Koran.
: If you like this movie, I recommend you to watch the 2007 movie "The kingdom" and the 2005 American drama "Sleeper Cell", neither of which is a hit. , It is easier to be ignored, but like "The Traitor", it still has some "expressions", I believe you will not be disappointed (remember the premise is if you like the movie "The Traitor").
: This is the best movie I've seen of all Don Cheadle's films. Don Cheadle has always been half-hearted in Hollywood, but I always thought his acting shouldn't make him the kind of celebrity he is now.
: One of the four stars given to this movie goes to Don Cheadle.

    Under the current worldview, national interests are above all else. You must abandon your own happiness for the "happiness" of a country, and sacrifice many people if necessary. In my opinion, these are really shit, so I hate the dialogue at the end of this film.
