User Review

  • Our Kind Of Traitor is another adaptation of a John Le Carre novel, this time all about laundering Russian money. This is a very technical film, I mean the direction felt very TV-esque and the script and dialogue are all on point and concise. It moves along in a jolly pace which is what Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy was missing...I enjoyed this film way more! Cast were consistent, although McGregor and Harris weren't really a believable couple. I was kept engaged throughout, that's all I can ask for during a realistic spy film. That's another thing, this film is way more believable than other spy films, hardly any action scenes or explosions which I found refreshing. Definitely check this one out.
