Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
Penn is terrific in his low-key doggedness.

rotten:
This is largely a competent, successful thriller, but observing global politics from this perspective is an uncomfortable, frustrating experience.

rotten:
The film's themes are disappointingly vague and unspecific, built around a fictitious African country that stands for anywhere -- and consequently nowhere.

I was steadily absorbed by The Interpreter, even though much of the plot didn't make a great deal of sense.

While it pains me to beat up on Pollack, who, in addition to being a consistently wonderful actor, is at least attempting to make movies the old-fashioned way, it pains me more to actually sit through his movies.
