Our Kind of Traitor (2016, UK)
With the legion of fans garnered by the recent TV adaptation of novelist John le Carre’s The Night Manager, now would seem to be a fortuitous time for distributors to be releasing Our Kind of Traitor, another adaptation which may serve to alleviating the pangs of ‘le Carre withdrawal’.
Director Susanna White opts for a quieter tone rather than underlining the drama with big explosions, histrionics or the frequent inclusion of graphic violence.
