That Movie Gay #2016


Breaking up US Summer drama week again it's time to head to the movies and the latest Ewan McGregor film, OUR KIND OF TRAITOR.



Also starring the amazing Stellan Skarsgard, Naomie Harris (Skyfall & Spectre) and Damian Lewis (Billions and of course lead in Homeland) this spy film via a novel is top class.

It's a little long but I won't mark it down much for that as Lights Out was in a league of it's own this week with an 80 minute in and out feature.

McGregor, Skarsgard and Harris steal the show whilst sometimes I feel Damian Lewis's best work was that in Homeland and Billions and this role just feels wrong. He was so good in Homeland that the role that most likely will (and has) defined his career has this thing hanging over him. He just needs a Claire Danes character in front of him consistently breaking down and going bat shit crazy.

But all in all Our Kind of Traitor was a brilliant looking film and a quality cinema release. Unfortunately the release was limited with a poor choice of session times and certain cinemas completely ignoring this intelligent thriller. What a shame.

I am going to give this a quality star rating of 3.5 Stars, well done.
