The Interpreter is a classic action thriller and was a fantastic way to start a new year at Film Club. It features UN translator Silvia Broome (Nicole Kidman) becoming inadvertently involved with an elaborate assassination plot of a guest speaker at the UN. However, the film features much more than meets the eye, with the story delving into Broome’s complex and turbulent background and the way this interacts with her equally troubled protector, secret service operative Tobin Keller (Sean Penn).
Perhaps this film will struggle to change your outlook on life, but with an entertaining story line and a pleasant moral message it is well worth a watch. (Even if they don’t kiss at the end – sorry guys!)
