While it doesn't probe particularly far below the surface of its central character, The Traitor tells its fact-based story with enough energy to entertain.

There's just no real perspective on Buscetta, which separates this brisk but uninvolving history lesson from the truly great mob movies. May 24, 2019 | Rating: C+ | Full Review…

By the time "The Traitor" finds its way back to Buscetta for an overextended final stretch that trafficks in all of the usual symbology of paranoia, he's become both too complicated for us to understand and too simple for us to care about. May 24, 2019 | Rating: C | Full Review…

The result is two films in one; one that works and one that doesn't. If Bellocchio had stuck with his intimate, observant storytelling approach, the film would have been a much more compelling testament to a dark age that Italians will never forget. Jan 19, 2020 | Rating: B | Full Review…

You might call these scenes highly theatrical for the way the gangsters dramatize themselves and fabulate, but they're actually about the dangerous moment when someone insists that playacting come to an end. Nov 8, 2019 | Full Review…
