The Interpreter
I really enjoyed this film. It stars Nicole Kidman (with a really very good African accent) as an interpreter working at the UN who overhears a threat against the life of a visiting African presdient. Trouble is, this is one of the nastiest men in the world and happens to be the bad man in who ruined her life in the country she was born in. Sean Penn plays the Sercret Service Agent in charge of investigating her case and protecting the African leader. So is she telling the truth then? Well, you'll have to go see it and I recommend that you do. I thought it was a very slick production with both Penn and Kidman putting good performances, they worked really well together on screen. Good pace, some nice special effects and a polished script keep the film moving along so you can't ask yourself lots of obvious questions (such as would they really do that???) whilst being taken along for the ride. Very enjoyable. Probably give it 7/10.
The Edukators
Ok, so you have to suspend some common sense when watching this film and accept that the characters are unbelieveably naive, but it's worth it. This German film tells the tale of 3 young anti-capitalist protestors who find a unique way of asserting their dissatisifaction with the affluent upper classes. However, one day it all goes wrong and they find themselves accidently kiddnapping one such man which takes them to places they didn't really expect. I loved this film. Whilst the script is very naive in places, the actors are all very convincing (and in one case, really quite gorgeous...always helps...) so you don't worry too much about their arguments. Some of the film is shot on hand-held cameras which gave a realism to the feel of the movie. Overall, really good. Go see it. 8/10
