Saw the Interpreter last night. Despite solid performances by Sean Penn and Nicole Kidman, it was a fairly drab exercise. It had thrilling moments, but the whole premise was just a bit too much for me.
Interpreter (Nicole Kidman) that just happens to know an obscure African language overhears an asassination plot. Secret Service agent (Sean Penn), whose wife just died two weeks prior, is put on the case. Thrilling ensues… A bit far-fetched… and this comes from someone that reads comic books. 😉
