The development of the plot is predictable for any viewer who has seen other Le Carré's films. [Full review in Spanish]

McGregor brings depth to the role. He beautifully portrays his character's thinking: His sharp, inquisitive eyes and thin lips seem forever caught between a smile and a grimace.

The movie grossly overestimates the audience's sympathy for a murderous thug and its interest in the morality of international banking.

It's an intriguing and very timely story, even if the tension and credibility aren't quite up to the standards of 2011's brilliant Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy.

The mid-summer release of an adult, effects-free British thriller relating to the collapse of Europe's global financial system timed out perfectly. You'll Brexit knowing that your entertainment dollar was well spent.

Finally the film loses its tension.

Our Kind of Traitor is tense enough, but lacks lustre and pizzazz.

Our Kind of Traitor reminded me of the kind of movie pleasures I'd lately been missing, namely characters who find themselves in situations they couldn't possibly have anticipated and which prove morally taxing.

A handsome and often absorbing picture.
