Traitor's Heart Audience Reviews

Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Bereamic Awesome Movie
SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."
Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
Wizard-8 If you have seen plenty of movies from the B studio Nu Image, you probably know that they like to recycle footage from their past movies, as well as use stock footage from other sources. "Traitor's Heart" is no exception, using a very liberal amount of footage that I easily recognized. In fact, there is so much of this footage, I truly believe that the screenwriters were shown this footage before they started writing, and were told, "Write a screenplay that will use all this footage." It should probably come as no surprise that there are a lot of awkward bits that come from cramming this footage in, not limited to continuity errors. But what really sinks the movie is how unbelievably boring the movie is. There is a lot of talk talk talk until you want to scream. And the action footage is far from the best Nu Image has filmed. The only entertainment value comes from seeing Bryan Genesse in action, who brings some unintended humor because he resembles and acts like Robert Hays from the comedy movie "Airplane!"
zardoz-13 The people who made "Traitor's Heart" knew how to detonate some terrific explosions, but they never solved the problem of writing a coherent screenplay about people that you can identify with or care about in the long run. The hero, Nick Brody (Bryan Genesse), has been suffering from amnesia for five years. Nevertheless, he has a beautiful wife (Kimberly Kates)and an adoring son who love him very much. While they are watching a fireworks display in New York City, their son wanders away, and they search frantically for him. Nick finds him and runs into a man who says that he knows him. Grateful for the man's help in finding his son, Nick gives the guy his phone number and promises to buy him a beer. The next day a different guy calls and warns Nick that he must meet him or bad things will happen. Nick backs out of a fishing trip with his father and goes to his workplace where he earns his paycheck by working on helicopters. The guy from the phone conversation shows up. Nick ignores most of what the guy says until the guy shows him a photograph of the helicopter crash that Nick survived. Now Nick has second thoughts about how he could have survived such a devastating crash. At that point, just as this stranger has gained a modicum of credibility in our hero's eyes, a helicopter hovers overhead and gunmen start firing bullets at them. The stranger scrambles onto his bus to drive away, only to catch a bullet in the back and crash into a couple of parked planes. A massive fireball inferno destroys the guy and the cops treat Nick like an idiot. Nick wonders now if he were in the army, but his wife claims that he wasn't. Even Nick's creepy therapist tries to convince Nick otherwise. Eventually, Nick discovers that he was an elite military assassin and that the military tried to wash their hands of him. At a climactic meeting with a presidential hopeful who was on board the U.S. Navy ship that launched the rocket that destroyed the helicopter, Nick has a confrontation with his right-wing nemesis. Naturally, this idiot talks about how much he loves America and wants to defend it. Nick swears up and down that he will release a confidential file on his exploits for the government that will bring this U.S. Congressmen down. The lily-livered politician botches his own suicide and somehow Nick ends up in court trying to defend himself on a charge of trying to kill the politician.Not only is this low-budget B-movie really incoherent but also the direction by Danny Lerner provides us with zero excitement. There is an interesting big city car chase that ends in another fireball explosion. We see the car turn a flip and then we see our hero emerge unhurt but shaken up. Later, he double crosses some shady government agents and jumps out of a helicopter and plunges into the ocean. Indeed, the stunt work is pretty good, the explosions are state-of-the-art, but the enigmatic script and the less than subtle acting sabotages everything. You know when a movie is in trouble when the first fifteen minutes leaves you wondering what the hell is going on. The villains are not very villainous either so the hero's job is not as challenging. Bryan Genesse looks like a young Russell Crowe but he lacks the skills of a good actor. He knows how to bulge his eyes, making pointing gestures with his index finger, but he cannot communicate his inner turmoil. The concluding courtroom scenes in this substandard saga are just plain silly, too.
liammurphy1 This movie could have been great. But it's got:1.)A Low budget: it really shows, you need a bigger one for this kind of movie. 2.) poor script: although gennese hardly says a word. 3.) poor acting: gennesse does a very poor impression of Mel gibson in Conspiracy Theory complete with stutering dialogue and pop eyes. 4.) poor direction: too many pointless scences the story rambles far too many times. 5.) poor ending: the ending does'nt make any sense,the last 10 - 15 mins were confusing and pointless.all in all a very disappointing movie, watch only if your life depends on it.My Rating 3/10 at best
jmarcel So Blockbuster video had this thing on sale for $5.00. I said, "what the heck, that's the price of the rental, so why not buy it." Looked like a low budget action B movie from the cover of the DVD. WRONG. no action, poor acting, dumb story, a COMPLETE waste of time. trust me. stay away. don't be fooled by the cover. This movie will have you kicking yourself for renting it. STAY AWAY. 1/10.
