REVIEW: Traitor’s Heart – Chosen by Rudi

Plot overview:

The truth has been hiding from Nick Brody, and it's about to coming crashing back into his life. For the past five years, he has been living in peace as a husband and father, working as a helicopter engineer, with a past he has lost to amnesia. Suddenly, there's a killer out to get him, and the only way Nick can defeat him is to give in to his secrets of his memory and face the truth.

Review:

It’s nice to get a film with an original plot, a film which is not predictable.

We found this to be a very enjoyable romp in the mould of total recall, except without the Sci-fi setting, A-list Hollywood stars, blood thirsty effects or screenplay derived from a novel by sci-fi genius Philip K. Dick. For a change Nu Image have shunned lots of action in favour of (what is for them) a more complicated and character driven plot. Also in a departure from that which is sane, the film briefly becomes a court room drama in the last 15 minutes.
It’s a very enjoyable film with the added bonus of the immortal line “I’m one of the hundreds of unemployed actors in LA”.
