Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn an interview, director Susanna White said of Stellan Skarsgård's full frontal nude scene: "Stellan is very Scandinavian, nudity was not embarrassing for him in any way. We did that scene day two of working together and usually with nude scenes the wardrobe people rush in with towels to cover the actor up, but he didn't want it. I would go in and discuss the scene with him and he would be starkers."

Featured review
Better than the book for me
I usually love John Le Carre's books, but I didn't think much of Our Kind of Traitor at all. In fact it left me with almost no memory of the story except a vague outline, which was very handy when it came to watching the film. I enjoyed the screen version much more. The adaptation is good, the action was paced far better than the novel, and the acting was excellent. Stellan Skarsgaad was wonderful as Dima - he managed, I thought, to make the character sympathetic without ever losing his menace. Damian Lewis was also very good. I don't especially care for Ewan MacGregor, but I thought he did well in this. I had last seen Khalid Abdalla, who played Luke, in the role of an Islamic terrorist in 'Spooks', and I think Susanne White made an excellent choice of having him play an MI-6 officer; while I know nothing about who staffs what in Vauxhall Cross, I would imagine it's much more multi-ethnic than it used to be. Lastly, the little cameo by John Le Carre himself was a nice touch.
As to how close to the reality the story line is ... I suspect much more so than many people might like to think!
