| iAfrica.com Gideon Nieuwoudt  As an action thriller, it succeeds with ease. | 15 |  |

| eye Weekly Kieran Grant As a story suspicious of theocracy and bureaucracy and open-minded about faith and geopolitics, Traitor’s convictions infiltrate and win the day. | 10 | |
| ReelViews James Berardinelli As a thriller for adults who don't require manic chases, frenetic shoot-outs, and ten cuts per second, Traitor is smart, effective, and at times suspenseful. It's one of a very few terrorist-themed movies that presents its situation without resorting to exploitation or oversimplification. | 15 | |
| ScreenIt C. Fuchs A decent but otherwise unremarkable thriller. | 10 | |
