“The Interpreter” ***
5:30 p.m., HBO
Sydney Pollack’s political thriller, shot largely in and around New York’s UN headquarters, is a polished, exciting treat, with beyond-duty’s-call work by stars Nicole Kidman and Sean Penn as a UN interpreter who may have stumbled on an assassination plot and the tormented federal agent protecting her. A full-throttle suspense film that’s also an affecting psychological piece.
MPAA rating: PG-13
