Goofs:
Errors in geography: During the scene when Silvia is trying to escape from Jean Gamba (when he's threatening to run her over on her Vespa), she is seen initially going up 4th Avenue, but then it switches to her going up Lafayette Street, which is lower than 4th Avenue. Then she is finally seen heading towards Chinatown via Lafayette; this is the opposite direction of where she had been heading towards the entire time. more

Exciting, 9 April 2005
9/10
Author: menkarp from Athens

Sidney Pollack has done it again! Movie premiered yesterday in Athens, was among the first to catch it. Nicole Kidman stars as Silvia Broom, a UN interpreter with a dark history behind her. Sean Penn stars as Tobin Keller, government agent in charge of protection of foreign diplomatic missions. The movie is breathtaking, after the third sequence I just sat back and let it carry me away. If you are a fan of good-old 70s spy films, you cannot miss this one. Needless to point out the breathtaking performances of Nicole Kidman and Sean Penn. The last sequence in the UN is one of the best I have ever seen. Congs to everybody involved (maybe now is the right momentum for a sequel of 3 days of the Condor!).
