The Interpreter (2005)

Rather inconsequential. Why is it that, whenever a director obtains something rather unique, like the authorizations to shoot a movie almost entirely within the UN premises (which might as well have been rebuilt in a studio, considering what little good it makes to the movie), the final movie isn’t a masterpiece? It it only because, in order to obtain that, you have to be an old director on a downward slope?

Anyway, it’s not too bad either; just slower than necessary, less intense than should be, and the absurd coincidences the whole movie relies on are never actually justified.

Crikey Garoo, you took your time getting round to this one - even I've seen it!! Like you say, I found it to be pleasantly entertaining, but no more. I liked the UN bits, tho' - I came out convinced I should have been an interpreter (but not a freedom fighter). So a job half well done.

J'aime bien (enfin, façon de parler) la manière dont il évacue ça. Quand Sean Penn lors du premier interrogatoire, demande à la belle si elle ne trouve pas toutes ces coïncidences suspectes

Oui... dans un film d'aliens ou de zombies, ça me suffirait, comme explication, mais pas dans un thriller à contexte politique, les standards ne sont pas vraiment les mêmes.
