I happen to watch this movie last week when my friend lended it to me. I like suspense and thriller one's and have my days for political oriented too. This one is a Political Thriller.
Sean Penn(Secret Service Agent) & Nicole Kidman (Interpreter) taking up the lead roles, giving their best as usual.
The main theme of the movie revolves around an Interpreter who works on the UN building. She overhears discussion of an assassination plot and she reports that to the UN Security office after clearing her doubts that its about the African Leader who is going to visit UN build in few days.
The case in turn gets assigned to United State Secret Service who assigns Tobin(Sean) to work with Interpreter Silvia(Nicole).
Most of the film surrounds the investigation of the assassination plot: the efforts to secure the UN building before Zuwanie's arrival (and to find any weapons, explosives or the like that may have been smuggled in), the investigation of Zuwanie's enemies and political opponents, and the investigation of Silvia herself.
As the film progresses, we see Silvia has in the past been involved in a Matoba guerrilla group, that her family was killed by land mines laid by Zuwanie, and even that she was girlfriend to one of Zuwanie's political opponents. Despite Keller considering Silvia a prime suspect, the two grow close as events unfold, and Keller ends up protecting her.
With a good story line and movie run up, it expands and takes us to a roller coaster ride but fails to thrill at the end. Climax is really predictable a bit if you watch it closely.
Overall, the movie is well worth watching on any night with your wife as well(if she is all over thrillers!!)
