Traitor

Directed by Jeffrey Nachmanoff, Written by Jeffrey Nachmanoff & Steve Martin, Executive Producer Ashok Amritraj, Producer Don Cheadle & David Hoberman, Original Music Mark Kilian

Synopsis :
Samir Horn (Don Cheadle), a devout American Muslim, and a former U.S. Army Special Forces expert in explosives, has been mysteriously showing up on the FBI's radar for being in the area of terrorist bombings. FBI agent Roy Clayton (Guy Pearce) heads up a task force investigation to link Horn to these bombings. Clayton is able to question Horn after he was arrested in Yemen for attempting to sell explosives to an Islamic terrorist group. The terrorists break out of prison and take Horn with them. With the help of Max Archer (Neal McDonough), Clayton is able to link Horn to a bombing of an American Consulate in Nice, and a failed police raid to capture his top terrorist contact in London. Clayton has been pursuing Horn around the world and has tracked him to the United States. Clayton must capture Horn before he strikes his next target. 

My 2 cents : One of the best movie about terrorism. Apart from The Kingdom with Jamie Foxx, this one actually looks at terrorism at a different angle. The plot is highly unpredictable, it goes at a smooth pace, so there isnt much of a boring moment in the movie. The writters did a good job by feeding the audience bits and pieces of information but not over feeding. Just enough to keep you understand where the movie is heading but also keeps you guessing what's gonna happen next, all at once. Those who like movies like this, I would suggest you give this a shot. But be warned, dont expect this to be a popcorn or one of those action-packed film. You go for the story line and acting in this one... not CGI and pretty girls with big boobs!
