The Interpreter (2005)
Nicole Kidman stars as African-born U.N. interpreter Silvia Broome, who inadvertently overhears a death threat against an African head of state scheduled to address the United Nation's General Assembly.

Sean Penn is Tobin Keller, the federal agent charged with protecting the interpreter, who nonetheless suspects she may not be telling the whole truth.

At one point, Keller says ‘she is the UN’ referring to her training and upbringing. Throughout the story,...

Talk about hot button issues of the moment. This film packs in African genocide, American terrorist fears and the validity of the United Nations itself into one film. One almost excellent film. The cast is a terrific choice: Oscar winners Nicole Kidman and Sean Penn, emoting at their very best (is it just me, or does...

Sydney Pollack's "The Interpreter". Pollack isn't treading any new ground with this thriller. Remember this is the guy that made "The Firm", "Absence of Malice" and "Three Days of The Condor" (as well as a couple of episodes of the old Alfred Hitchcock TV show). So it is a technically proficient thriller, and Nicole Kidman...
