 | | Kidman plays a U.N. interpreter who inadvertently overhears hints of a plot to kill the reviled, tyrannical leader of her (fictional) African homeland; Penn is the Secret Service agent assigned to protect her, or to determine her role (if any) in the assassination scenario. |
 | | In sum, "The Interpreter" is a decent thriller and time-filler, although it is rather old-fashioned in its storytelling and pacing. |
 | | On second thought, there is one aspect to "The Interpreter" that might, be deemed offensive by some - and that is the film's willingness to use sensitive topics like genocide and terrorism as mere window dressing for what is, when all is said and done, a pretty lightweight whodunit confection. |
