The Interpreter poster

Why people love it

People revisit The Interpreter for the same reason it broke through in 2005: clear stakes, memorable faces, and a thriller rhythm that doesn't stall in the middle. Sydney Pollack keeps the ensemble pointed in one direction. The crime and thriller blend is the engine: it lets the film shift registers without feeling like two different movies stitched together.
