I saw the new Sean Penn/Nicole Kidman movie this weekend, and I was not that impressed. The story was about Nicole working as a African language translator for the UN and overhearing a murder plot. It was overly complex, and by the end, I didn't really care what happened. I don't know why they felt the need to make up a fictional African country to portray. If you want to see a great film about modern African politics, skip the Interpreter and rent Hotel Rwanda. Sean and Nicole had no chemistry together. Catherine Keener is great as Sean Penn's partner, but she is underused. The one great element was the gorgeous aerial photography of Manhattan.
