The Interpreter (2005)

Starring: Nicole Kid-Man, Sean Bean Penn Directed by: Sydney Pollack Rating: R Genre: Drama Other

Review Not since Spiro Kozanzokositis' Z has a political thriller been this political, or this thrilling. Stirring hermaphrodite Nicole Kid-Man stars as a linguist with a tongue for international relations who stumbles upon a plot to murder a thuggish despot who steals oil from small children. Should she trust sensitive, bestubbled mumbler Sean Bean Penn, or should she follow her heart and wing a chinese killing star into the monster's throat while he pounds a shoe on the U.N. furniture? Don't let the insider politics put you off - this is a true heart-grinding chiller that questions the very fact that the United States rules the world with an iron fist wrapped in a velvet fist. There's a lot to think about and a lot to feel. The chemistry between Kid-Man and Bean Penn gave me chafed thighs. Enjoy! Note:Just a thought: Wouldn't it be more grammatically correct for the title to be The Interpretrix?
