The Interpreter
4/5 stars
Nicole Kidman plays Silvia Broome, an interpreter at the United Nations who overhears a threat against a soon-to-be-visiting dignitary. The secret service begins an investigation, headed by Tobin Keller, played by Sean Penn, and as they dig deeper, we learn more and more about Broome’s questionable past.
I’m never sure if I’m going to like a Nicole Kidman film, but the promos for this one sucked me in. I’m glad I went, because it was rather good — there were a lot of twists, as there should be in a good thriller. I’m not sure that I saw the end coming, though there were certainly clues there (again, as a good thriller should have).
