The truth needs no translation.
After Silvia Broome, an interpreter at United Nations headquarters, overhears plans of an assassination, an American Secret Service agent is sent to investigate.

Why is it that every movie about a corrupt African dictator has to have a made up African country? Anyway, this particular film is a bit of a snoozefest. Sean Penn is a secret service agent in charge of keeping Nicole Kidman safe from the opposite of Wakanda -- however, is the opposite of Wakanda safe from Nicole Kidman...? This movie was shot juuust before the iPhone came out, so if you are looking for a time capsule of New York City around that time then I guess this fits the bill. At one point, Kidman glances longingly at a flute, and I had the thought that it would be awesome if there was a melodramatic flute interlude... and then there *was* one! Another brief taste of passability comes when Penn and his agents set up shop in an apartment directly across from Kidman's -- what was she doing with the curtains open in the first place? The best use for a copy of this film is to give it as a Secret Santa gift to some loser who wants to work for the UN, because God knows they can use all the help they can get...
