Traitor

Salvation from bad reality tv arrived at ye olde abode in the form of a DVD this evening: "Traitor," starring Don Cheadle.

The protagonist is a half-American, half-Sudanese guy from Chicago with way too much experience with explosives.

He gets arrested for terrorism and thrown in a Yemeni prison, where he befriends a guy named Omar who is so anti-American that he could be a keynote speaker at the next Democratic National Convention.

Anyway, the two of them end up plotting a major attack on US soil.

I won't ruin the film for ye socks who may want to go out and rent the DVD for yourselves, but there are several interesting twists and turns. All of them leave you wondering just who Cheadle's character is betraying, maybe himself?

Bottom line: worth renting, especially if you're not in to watching those "celebrities" on reality tv.
