Released by Studiocanal this May, Our Kind of Traitor is based on the hit John le Carré novel about an ordinary English couple who befriend a flamboyant and charismatic Russian, Dima, who unbeknownst to them is a kingpin money launderer for the Russian mafia.

Our Kind of Traitor will be released in UK cinemas 13th May 2016.
