Premise
An interpreter overhears an assassination plot at the United Nations building.
Who should watch
Sean Penn fans.
Thoughts
Aside from the big name actors, the main draw was that this was the first time the U.N. building was used for filming.
What I liked best about the movie was the acting and the dialogue. While it was not Oscar worthy, Sean Penn pulled off some subtle, emotional moments of vulnerability. There was also some good quotes and social commentary about war and peace.
Unfortunately, as a thriller, the plot and some of the characters did not make sense. I never felt like I was on the edge of my seat. Part of the problem was that the trailers seemed to give everything away already.
What I would change
Redone the trailers.
