Critic Reviews of "The Interpreter"
New York Magazine/VultureMay 12, 2006Penn is terrific in his low-key doggedness.
Time OutFebruary 09, 2006This is largely a competent, successful thriller, but observing global politics from this perspective is an uncomfortable, frustrating experience.
AV ClubSeptember 26, 2005The film's themes are disappointingly vague and unspecific, built around a fictitious African country that stands for anywhere -- and consequently nowhere.
Salon.comApril 23, 2005While it pains me to beat up on Pollack, who, in addition to being a consistently wonderful actor, is at least attempting to make movies the old-fashioned way, it pains me more to actually sit through his movies.
Washington PostApril 22, 2005As a straight-ahead thriller, the movie is enjoyable and stirring much of the time.

eFilmCritic.comSeptember 24, 2007High-class to a fault, and well-cast in every supporting role ... nevertheless burns with a very low flame.
Big Picture Big SoundJuly 14, 2007It may not be a perfect film, but it's just nice to see a master at work.
Long Island PressJune 02, 2007Now we know actors are just that, but it's a little hard to suspend disbelief and buy Sean as a government agent out to foil an assassination plot, when just a few months ago he was out to assassinate Richard Nixon on screen.
