Interpreter
Nicole Kidman and Sean Penn give marvelous performances in this drama with the United Nations as the backdrop. One is an U.N. interpreter from a fictional African country and the other is a secret service agent. It is a story of international intrigue and suspense. Unfortunately, this preview screening had a one and a half hour intermission due to technical difficulties (something about reel 6 being played after reel 1 and everything having to be rewound and re-spliced). The first half of the film was great, but Alien seemed to lose interest or was just too tired to focus on the movie as the hour neared eleven. Even the free popcorn and soda couldn't keep Alien awake. Maybe the little critics-in-trainees could help me out or Alien will have to rescreen again.
Alien gives it 2 ½ "Lost in Translation" stars out of 4.
