An interpreter for the United Nations overhears something that could be interpreted as a threat while the General Assembly auditorium is being evacuated for a routine security sweep. The treat was made in Ku, a dialect spoken in her home country of Matobo and was directed toward the controversial ruler of Matobo. A Secret Service agent is brought in to investigate the interpreters claim and finds that she knows more than she is letting on. While digging deeper, a shocking tale of violence and corruption is uncovered and tied to the ruler of Matobo's regime.
This was a well planned and executed film. The country and language were completely made up and a whole history of the country was developed for this movie. There were a few different story lines to follow which made it interesting as well. As impressive as that was, I found it a little difficult to side with Sean Penn's character (Secret Service agent) in trying to save a ruthless killer (the corrupt ruler of Matobo) from being assassinated. The crimes he committed seemed worthy of an assassination. Overall though, it was a pretty good film with an interesting plot and I felt Nicole Kidman and Sean Penn were well suited for their roles.
Rating: 3 of 5 stars
Would I watch it again: No

I typically watch movies on Monday, Wednesday and Friday while riding the ACE Train from Tracy to Santa Clara. The opinions expressed are those of me, myself and I.
