traitor

In fact, when the plot is introduced, it shouldn't be so clear that it is a spy story. I personally feel that there is one point that is more desirable than other spy undercover films. Don’t reveal the undercover identity so clearly. Just like the more classic undercover film [Infernal Affairs], we have known the same from the beginning. After graduating from the police academy, Tony Leung must be an undercover agent. Anyway, we are bystanders. And from the beginning of the film, the male protagonist grew up in a Muslim environment and witnessed the tragedy of his father’s death (the explosion was very sudden and shocking), and his pious attitude and the scene of selling explosives were intertwined, which made me intuitively think He was not an undercover agent of a terrorist organization, but an extremely devout bomber. The truth was not revealed until the FBI turned out his confidential files. Hehe, maybe I am not forward-looking enough, but at least this part of the plot is handled very well. By the way, you should have seen a movie, right? Otherwise... it's a spoiler.


As a non-religious person, I admire their spiritual power. But if I was really a religious person, then I would not be able to watch religious movies religiously. Therefore, I still choose to appreciate it.

Traitor quotes

  • Max Archer: [Referring to the bomber captured in Spain] This guy's gotta be in a state of shock. He planned on waking up in Paradise to 72 virgins. Blow yourself up to get laid, this is gotta be some crazy s**t!

    Roy Clayton: Where I grew up the Klan burned crosses in front of people's houses and called it Christianity. Then my daddy and the folks from the church would drive over and put them out. Seems every religion has more than one face.

  • Samir Horn: [defying FBI agents] The only difference between you and him is he *knows* he's an asshole.
