Review of Traitors

Traitors (2019)
7/10
CIA origin story
27 May 2019
Warning: Spoilers
Nicely produced, acted, and directed. Writing is kinda hard to follow...but... the grimy paw-prints of modern liberal beliefs are everywhere in this post-Netflix-Obama-contract offering. Communism gets droned into us as if it is still fresh and innocent, Capitalism is the new Satan, and we find American black people who go all the way to England to still get hated on, by Brits and Yanks both. A lot of the rest of the series is hit and miss, a physical anachronism here, a 2020 campaign slogan there, interesting stuff about Israel and one outrageously expensive car. But they got one thing right: The vile cancer that was, is, and will be the CIA is shown clearly. What they didn't have time to show was the CIA failing at nearly every large task since inception. It is a matter of some hilarity that the CIA plotting against Trump was his best safeguard against real danger. Troof!
