Full Plot Details

Escalating events begin when U.N. interpreter Silvia Broome alleges that she has overheard a death threat against an African head of state, spoken in a rare dialect few people other than Silvia can understand. With the words "The Teacher will never leave this room alive," in an instant, Silvia's life is turned upside down as she becomes a hunted target of the killers. Placed under the protection of federal agent Tobin Keller, Silvia's world only grows more nightmarish. As Keller digs deeper into his eyewitnesses' past and her secretive world of global connections, the more suspicious he becomes that she herself might be involved in the conspiracy. With every step of the way, he finds more reasons to mistrust her. Is Sylvia a victim? A suspect? Or something else entirely? And can Tobin, coping with his own personal heartache, keep her safe? Though they must depend on one another, Silvia and Tobin couldn't be more different. Silvia's strengths are words, diplomacy and the subtleties of meaning, while Tobin is all about instinct, action and reading into the most primal human behaviors. Now, as the danger of a major assassination on U.S. soil grows and Silvia's life hangs in the balance, Silvia and Tobin play out a gripping dance of evasion and revelation that keeps them both guessing as they race to stop a terrifying international crisis before it's too late.

Movie Reviews

Chicago Tribune - 10/10 by Michael WilmingtonAs beautifully designed, swift and sleek as a classic sports car, throbbing with emotion and intelligence, it's a neat suspense film that's also dramatically and sociologically potent, with two supremely talented stars, Nicole Kidman and Sean Penn, delivering beyond the emotional call of duty.
Boulder Weekly - 9/10 by Thomas DelapaNeeds no translation...It warrants U.N. sanctions as one of the most bombastic bombs of the year.
Times (UK) - 9/10 by James ChristopherOffers something more meaty and topical than the pulling power of its glittering parts
Lessons of Darkness - 9/10 by Nick SchagerA political thriller afraid of politics and bereft of thrills.
Reno Gazette-Journal - 9/10 by Forrest HartmanThe complicated plotting gets increasingly ridiculous as the picture nears conclusion.
The Hollywood Reporter - 9/10 by Kirk HoneycuttThrillers don't get much smarter than The Interpreter.
Seattle Post-Intelligencer - 9/10 by William ArnoldVery much a '70s-style paranoid thriller, with a mood, tone and cascade of plot twists that are highly reminiscent of his 1975 classic, "Three Days of the Condor."
Spectrum (St. George, Utah) - 9/10 by Bruce BennettSucceeds because it focuses on a lost art of cinema: Character development.
Palo Alto Weekly - 9/10 by Jeanne AufmuthThe smart political thriller; a classic breed of cinema that faces permanent extinction thanks to soulless efforts like this one.
Three Movie Buffs - 9/10 by Scott NashDirector Sydney Pollack still has the touch.
