With this complex and intelligent political thriller, director Sydney Pollack returned to territory that he mined so well in "Three Days of the Condor" and "Havana." Nicole Kidman plays a UN worker who believes she overheard an assassination plot to eliminate a ruthless African dictator, and Sean Penn costars as the federal agent who may or may not believe her. This was the first feature film ever shot inside the United Nations' Manhattan headquarters. Catherine Keener, Earl Cameron.
