7/10
Inside the UN
8 April 2005
I had the opportunity to watch the movie here in Greece, where for some reason,it came out in the theaters two weeks before it does in USA.In general"The Interpreter" was an interesting movie, as one would expect given the undisputed talent of the cast(Kidman,Penn) and the experience of the director(Pollack).I particularly enjoyed the scenes that were shot inside the UN building and really added an new element to the story.Furthermore,the music of the film composed by James Newton-Howard is superb.Nevertheless,the movie lacks that "something" that would make it a great political thriller like "The Manchurian Candidate". The story is interesting,the performances by Kidman and Penn noticeable but the movie leaves you feeling that something is missing...In any case,you will spend a couple of hours pleasantly and also get a little bit of insight about the role of the UN.
