The Interpreter is a tense and fast-paced thriller involving the U.N., an assassination plot, political manipulations and ethnic cleansing. Nicole Kidman stars as a gifted translator who gets stuck in the middle of the growing danger, while Sean Penn plays a Secret Service Agent determined to figure out whether the Translator is innocent or guilty of some complicity in the plot, alternately trying to protect and potentially arrest her. If you like international politics, police dramas, and films that seem taken from news headlines, this might be to your liking.
