The Interpreter
Stream
Rent & Buy
After Silvia Broome, an interpreter at United Nations headquarters, overhears plans of an assassination, an American Secret Service agent is sent to investigate.
What critics thought
A polished, mid-tier thriller that earned mixed-to-favorable notices — critics generally respected its intelligence and craft but found it more cerebral than gripping, with plot holes that undercut the tension. Sydney Pollack's direction and the leads keep it watchable, but it falls short of the edge-of-your-seat experience the premise promises.
“Thrillers don't get much smarter than The Interpreter.”
Kirk Honeycutt·The Hollywood Reporter
“coolly absorbing without being pulse-quickening”
