TRAITOR

Once again, Hollywood has given us the finger with TERRIBLE movie choices. So I decided to see what was on cable this weekend, and wish that I would have learned to read instead. I saw the Don Cheidle movie Traitor. Where he plays a CIA guy who is trying to infiltrate a terror group and is successful in doing so. Ok a movie about terrorism isn't too bad, it's very timely something that people are thinking about and even worried about. Here's my problem. Don Cheidle ISN'T AN ACTION HERO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is the same guy who was a terrible porno star/stereo salesman in Boogie Nights. He was also the manger at Hotel Rwanda, and in the Oceans 11, 12, and 13 movies. He is a safe guy who NO one feels threatened by. So to think that he is some bad ass mo-fo is going to not only kick ass but save America too is a joke. I think that a better choice for this role would have been to have Cedric the Entertainer play this role, and battle Larry the Cable guy because at least one of those guys could have died in taping and it would seem believable!!!!!!!!! Oh, and not to mention the "wonderful" slant that this movie had that said that America is willing innocent people in order to stop a few terrorist. And if we were willing to do that, that someone in that position would actually feel bad for doing so. I'm sorry but next weekend, I think that I'm going to open my fridge and watch bologna go bad and it would be more believable and enjoyable then this bag of crap!!!!!!!!
