The Translators

 A cleverly twisty-turny thriller - if the ultimate result was one I'd guessed from the trailer, it at least gives us enough bonus content to mean that there's enough discoveries along the way. Lambert Wilson is practically the only performer it's not spoilery to praise, because his sliminess permeates the film from the opening mintues as the desperate publisher at the centre of the story, but there's decent set pieces and surprises to not mind too much that this is not really doing much particularly new and it is hitting that common cinematic problem where representations of a piece of art onscreen inevitably look a bit crap.
