Our Kind of Traitor hits the big screen today and is the latest John le Carré novel to be adapted for the big screen.
Our Kind of Traitor
We have been treated to The Constant Gardener, Tinker Tailor Solider Spy, and A Most Wanted Man in recent years but, this time, Susanna White is at the helm.
This will be the first time that we have seen White tackle a big screen thriller as she returns to the director's chair for the first time since she made her debut with Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang in 2010.
Our Kind of Traitor opens nationwide today and we have a great new clip to whet your appetite. Take a look:
White has brought together a terrific cast as Ewan McGregor, Stellan Skarsgård, Damian Lewis and Naomie Harris are all set to star.
Drive screenwriter, Hossein Amini is also on board, having penned the film's screenplay.
While on holiday in Marrakech, an ordinary English couple, Perry (McGregor) and Gail (Harris), befriend a flamboyant and charismatic Russian, Dima (Skarsgård), who unbeknownst to them is a kingpin money launderer for the Russian mafia.
When Dima asks for their help to deliver classified information to the British Secret Services, Perry and Gail get caught in a dangerous world of international espionage and dirty politics. The couple is propelled on a perilous journey through Paris and Bern, a safe house in the French Alps, to the murky corners of the City of London and an alliance with the British Government via a ruthless and determined MI6 agent (Lewis).
Our Kind of Traitor is out now.
