Our Kind of Traitor

— This is a fine little espionage film, both because it is based on the John le Carré novel and because it has some decent actors with parts that are developed well. Its good entertainment and holds your interest, but it doesn’t have the complications and twists I enjoy in Cold War era films. Like “A Most Wanted Man”, the film’s fairly linear, and it wasn’t much of a challenge keeping track of the action. It’s still well done and worth seeing if you like spy films, but it’s not in a league with “The Spy Who Came In from the Cold” or “Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy”.
