Damn Decent

A smooth thrill ride is how I would describe Our Kind of Traitor. I didn't realise until after watching it was based on a John LeCarre novel (i missed half the opening credits, my bad) but nobody does cool thriller like Carre.I'm familiar with some of his other material and have seen a couple things turned into film also. This movie delivers man.Its intense, deep character development, and sometimes you are changing what you want/think the outcome to be.There are some majestic performances here by Stellan S. And Damian Lewis. Ewan Mac is gold as always, never seen a bad performance from him.I really enjoyed this film. Held my attention all the way through. If you like films about espionage or the sort. This is something you might enjoy.All in all just a really well made film. Worth the watch.Overall Score 7/10 Entertainment Value 8/10 For a continuous plot that doesn't lose its way.

Gripping

This is a proper screen adaptation of a John le Carre novel. If you're looking for a film to watch or rent, this is a good one. It tells the story of an ordinary British couple who, while on holiday, get caught up in a drama involving a member of the Russian mafia. This follows them after the holiday, and it turns into a terrifying adventure.I thought the movie was gripping. There were many scenes that had me at the edge of my seat. The scenes were set in various locations around Europe and the rest of the world. I disagree with those who say the plot developments were not credible.I think this movie is a little under-rated with it's current IMDb score. It's worth about 7.5.
