Okay, so a 55 percent on Rotten Tomatoes for Traitor can't exactly be considered rave reviews by any means, but considering the 40 percent and under all of last weekend's releases received or the staggering 0 percent this week's Babylon A.D. has from the first six reviewers, Traitor should at least be decent, right?
Ty Burr of The Boston Globe called Don Cheadle's Samir Horn character "one of the more maddeningly, gratifyingly complex lead characters seen in movies lately" and A.O. Scott of The New York Times calls Traitor "a somber, absorbing and only moderately preposterous new thriller."
