Fused Film Focus: Traitor - Pics + Synopsis
So I am bored and have decided to post these pictures and synopsis that Overture films sent us on there upcoming spy thriller, Traitor. I am a big Don Cheadle fan and I love Guy Pierce. Jeff Daniels, who also in the film, is also one of favorite actors that doesn’t do much. This movie doesn’t look fantastic but as far as spy flicks go it looks good. We will be screening this soon so once we see it we will let you know our thoughts in our review.
Anyway enjoy the official synopsis and the pictures.
SYNOPSIS
An elite FBI investigator crosses three continents in search of a renegade U.S. military operative who holds the secret to a shocking conspiracy in Traitor, a taut international thriller set in the treacherous world of covert counter-espionage operations.
Academy Award® nominee Don Cheadle (Hotel Rwanda, Crash), Guy Pearce (Memento, L.A. Confidential), Golden Globe® nominee Jeff Daniels (The Squid and the Whale), Neal McDonough (Minority Report), Archie Panjabi (A Mighty Heart), Aly Khan (A Mighty Heart) and Saïd Taghmaoui (The Kite Runner) star in a globe-hopping thriller that will keep audiences guessing until its stunning climax. The film is written and directed by Jeffrey Nachmanoff (screenwriter of The Day After Tomorrow). David Hoberman, Todd Lieberman, Don Cheadle, Jeffrey Silver produce. Ashok Amritraj, Steve Martin, Arlene Gibbs and Kay Liberman serve as executive producers.
When FBI agent Roy Clayton (Guy Pearce) heads up the investigation into a dangerous international conspiracy, all clues seem to lead back to former U.S. Special Operations officer Samir Horn (Don Cheadle). A mysterious figure with a complex web of international connections, Horn has a knack for emerging on the scene just as a major operation goes down and disappearing before the authorities can question him.
The inter-agency task force looking into the case meets with Carter (Jeff Daniels), an amoral, veteran CIA contractor who seems to have his own agenda, and FBI agent Max Archer (Neal McDonough). The task force links Horn to illicit activities in Yemen, Nice and London, but a tangle of contradictory evidence emerges, forcing Clayton to question whether his quarry is a disaffected former military operative-or something far more complicated.
Obsessed with discovering the truth, Clayton tracks Horn across the globe as the elusive ex-soldier burrows deeper and deeper into a world constructed of secrets and lies.
Ladies and Gentlemen: the first movie to ever feature an FBI agent wearing DECENT CLOTHING! ONLY STARZ could make that happen. Get it? Only Starz? You know… Overture films is a Starz company. Oh bloody forget it.
LOL. You are right only Starz could make that happen. HA!
I saw this trailer in the theater the other day, and it looks like weak sauce, and that’s saying something given how much I like the talent in front of the camera.
