The Interpreter

Wow, this was actually quite good. I liked it. Only thing was that it was rather long.

Nicole Kidman was really good. She sounded so fluent in all the languages that she had to speak and that must have been REALLY difficult. I think that's possibly why she had the book with her most of the time. It was so she never had to actually memorise the lines... but I'm just speculating here.

Sean Penn was also really good. His side story built a premise for his behaviour and the way he reacts to certain things.

The whole movie was very political but it was very good. Only bad thing about the movie was that it was super predictable... well... some aspects of it. Like... you can sooo figure out who the gun man was going to be and who killed who etc. I did like how they just made it very obvious at the end and confirmed it for people who may not have picked it up.

In general, an Interpreter over hears a conversation about an assassination... and when she confronts the police about it... she becomes the suspect.
