"Director Sydney Pollack delivers megawatt star power, high gloss, and
political passion to The Interpreter, his first thriller since The Firm.
With Nicole Kidman and Sean Penn delivering smooth, understated
performances, the film more closely recalls Pollack's 1975 Robert
Redford/Faye Dunaway paranoid thriller Three Days of the Condor, trading
conspiratorial politicians for potential assassination in the United
Nations General Assembly (this being the first film ever granted
permission to use actual U.N. locations). Kidman plays a U.N.
interpreter who inadvertently overhears hints of a plot to kill the
reviled, tyrannical leader of her (fictional) African homeland; Penn is
the Secret Service agent assigned to protect her, or to determine her
role (if any) in the assassination scenario. By distancing itself from
real-life politics, The Interpreter softens its potential impact as a
thriller about contemporary globalization and threats to international
peace, but the Penn/Kidman personal drama (between two people who gain a
deep appreciation for shared anguish, without being artificially forced
into romance) adds a richly human dimension to Pollack's expert handling
of the thriller elements of a complex yet easily-followed plot.
Indie-film stalwart Catherine Keener shines in her supporting role as
Penn's sarcastic by sympathetic Secret Service partner. "

"Against impossible odds, a small village of ordinary men and women with
extraordinary courage withheld the advances of a 200,000 Burmese
soldiers, over and over again. As the Burmese suppression of the
countryside grew more brutal, this small thorn in the side of the giant
slowly swelled with numbers of refugees who came to stand and fight when
they could run no more. They fought for their homes, their dignity and
their lives."

Monster R2 2-Disc SE DTS £7.00

"Critics have universally praised Charlise Theron's performance in
Monster and the praise, for once, is astonishingly deserved. The
gorgeous star of The Italian Job and The Cider House Rules vanishes into
the character of Aileen Wuornos, a real-life serial killer and
prostitute who murdered at least seven men in Florida. Monster traces
her relationship with a young woman named Selby (Christina Ricci), which
intertwines with Wuornos's murder spree. This remarkable movie finds
compassion for Wuornos but unflinchingly faces her brutal crimes; Theron
expresses this woman's horrific life history without softening her
terrifying, dead-eyed stare. This is a gripping, devastating
performance, a physical and psychological transformation comparable to
Robert DeNiro's in Raging Bull. The movie's moral and emotional
complexity wouldn't succeed without this searing performance--but
succeed it does, and it will stick with you for some time afterwards.
Those interested in the back story may also want to seek out Nick
Broomfield's documentaries on Wuornos. "
