The Interpreter review
Daniel Corleone - wrote on 02/15/12
Silvia Broome (Nicole Kidman) is an interpreter involved in a death threat of a foreign leader. Tobin Keller (Sean Penn) and Dot Woods (Catherine Keener) are from the secret service who investigates the interpreter and safeguard Edmond Zuwanie (Earl Cameron), president of Matobo. Somebody approaches the place of Silvia on a mask gesturing a “be quiet” sound. Despite the upbeat soundtrack, the pace of the picture was a bit slow because of the romantic angle between Silvia and Keller. The movie had some good lines such as: Silvia – “Vengeance is a lazy form of grief.” Keller – “You never had time for a lot of things.” Alternate ending wasn’t that thrilling as well. The Interpreter serves a good message if only it were more interesting.
