Storyline
When Peter and his girlfriend, Gail, cross paths with the charismatic Dima on their Moroccan holiday, the forceful Russian is quick to challenge Peter to a friendly game of tennis. But this innocuous contest is not all it seems - Dima is a long-time servant of the Russian mafia, whose new boss, 'The Prince', wants him and his family dead. His only hope is to ask the unsuspecting Peter to broker him sanctuary with the British intelligence services, in return for exposing a vein of corruption that runs right to the heart of the City of London. Soon they find themselves on a tortuous journey through Paris to a safe house in the Swiss Alps and, with the might of the Russian mafia closing in, begin to realise this particular match has the highest stakes of all...

Ewan McGregor and Naomie Harris play a British poetry professor and his wife who befriend a Russian millionaire they meet on holiday. He asks the professor to approach MI5 with his offer to defect to Britain with some uncomfortable information about members of the Establishment who are helping a mafia bank set up a laundering branch in London; in return he wants his family to be offered protection in the West.
Stellan Skarsgard plays the rude crude oligarch in a volume and style borrowed from Brian Blessed. Damian Lewis affects an unconvincing Belgravia accent as the one decent spymaster fighting the recalcitrance and lack of principles of his Whitehall superiors, a part which perhaps too obviously recycles Olivia Colman's in THE NIGHT MANAGER. There's not enough meat on Naomie Harris's role, but Ewan McGregor makes a more persuasive Ordinary Joe than MANAGER's Tom Hiddleston, who seemed a bit bland and too posh – I hope he won't be the next 007.
Perhaps OUR KIND OF TRAITOR has come too close on the heels of THE NIGHT MANAGER, making the similarities over-conspicuous. TRAITOR has a little less drama but a lot more heart. Le Carre is very good at endings – remember THE SPY WHO CAME IN FROM THE COLD? – and this one is particularly finely judged. This is up there with the best of his movies.
