Traitor

This was a very slow paced political/philosophical/theological film. I watched this with my parents, both of which fell asleep. I on the other hand loved it. I wish I would have seen it sooner than waiting for it on DVD. I really liked Don Cheadle's character. He's what I think of when I think of how religious people should be. The sad thing is, he's unusual, because many people do not act this way when it comes to religion. People are either extemists or what Kierkegaard calls Sunday... somethings. I'm sure you could figure out what I mean. Don Cheadle was right in the middle. Pearce's character could have been played by anyone. I was surprised to see Jeff Daniels in this. He hasn't dine much, especially political films. It was nice to see this perspective being pursued from a Muslim point of view. Body of Lies had the same sort of idea, except that DiCaprio was born most likely Judeo-Christian which sets the tone a little differently, than being born into the religion. If it wouldn't have been Don Cheadle, then this film probably wouldn't have been good. Cheadle made the movie good, otherwise it wouldn't have been good.
