What Parents Need to Know
About The Interpreter
Parents need to know that this movie includes realistic representations of shooting deaths (in the first scene, committed by adolescent boys) and a terrorist bomb attack on a bus in Brooklyn. The political intrigue is occasionally complicated, involving discussions of assassination, genocide, racism, and the desire for revenge. Characters drink, smoke, and use some mild language (they also name and drink Starbucks coffee).

Good suspense..............but.............im confused
The movie was very suspenseful (in a good way: not too scary but keeps your attention) and had lots of action. The only problem is the plot. It is a good idea, but at the end I had ????? in my head. I did not understand the assasination at the end of the movie at all. Well.. i dont want to give away the ending so i wont say anymore. I would not recommend this for children at all because I can see how other parts in the movies would be confusing as well. It is an action movie where you have to listen closely to the dialogue. You may want to watch the movie with your family so the adults might be able to explain to you what is going on.

Complex story and charcters make this film good
Not for kids under 14. Very complex story and it has a mild sex scene. The movie is great but it has a horrible ending but its still worth seeing.

Great!
This movie was great, but very violent. It had an amazing plot, that led to a suspensful ending. I am being honest, and would say this movie isn't for people my age, even though it was great. Nicole Kidman did a superb job as her character. I would recommend to kids my age who are mature and up.
