Movie Reviews of The Interpreter (Widescreen Edition)
Movie Review: So many names...
Summary: 3 Stars
Sean Penn, Nicole Kidman, Sydney Pollack... they could've created stronger film especially the end of it.Movie Review: Good actors save movie
Summary: 3 Stars
The cast of The Interpreter obviously saves this movie. Although the plot is intelligent enough, no way this movie would have been an outstanding success without the acting capabilities of Sean Penn and Nicole Kidman!
After Interpreter Kidman overhears some information she shouldn't have the rising tension is being displayed very well. However there is a very remarkable fact in this movie, that doesn't make any sense. Why isn't Kidman's part played by a black actress? Having white Kidman speak a native African language like this Ku is absolutely ridiculous! What was going through Sydney Pollack's mind when he had Nicole Kidman say lines like: "I'm going back to my people in Africa!"? (SARR)
Movie Review: Clearly up for interpretation
Summary: 4 Stars
I'm surprised there are so many so-so reviews of this movie - I thought it was really good. The plot was pretty hard to follow at times, but Nicole Kidman and Sean Penn were great, and there were times when the suspense was almost too much to take. The twist at the end was totally unexpected - all along I thought I knew what was going on, and who the bad guy was, but that was completely shattered in the last scenes. The only reason I'm not giving it five stars is that it was a little long and convoluted - I kept thinking the movie was about to be over with, and then a whole new plotline would come up.Movie Review: A film that settles for being "good for you" rather than actually "good"
Summary: 3 Stars
"The Interpreter" is intelligent, well intentioned, and stylish but unfortunately lacks an involving narrative and characters one truly cares about. Maybe it's shallow of me, but I really think this movie needed a little more "punch" and good old entertainment value. In the end, the film is watchable and interesting (and its dialogue about human rights issues is certainly honorable) but it could have been a lot more. Fans of sterile, more intellectual thrillers will likely be more forgiving, but I personally like my thrillers to be more, well... thrilling. The DVD features a crisp, clean widescreen image and generous extras that flesh out many of the issues discussed in the film. Movie Review: Kidman and Penn Carry The Movie Well
Summary: 4 Stars
The Interpreter, I thought, was a very interesting story about assasination plots within the U.N. and whehter or not people can believe the threat as true. Nicole Kidman gave a great performance as the lead character in this movie. It's not flat acting seen, but just the personality of the character who is very stressed out at this point of the movie. Sean Penn also did a great job as the agent trying to figure out the truth. It being filmed in the U.N. makes this film really unique and realistic, especially with the protestors outside that add an extra touch to this film. Overall, this movie is worth seeing. It may not be the greatest movie created, but it is still a very interesting one if you like good drama and stories about the government.
