Mystery. Thriller Nine translators, hired to translate the eagerly awaited final book of a bestselling trilogy, are confined in a luxurious bunker. When the first ten pages of the top-secret manuscript appear online, the dream job becomes a nightmare - the thief is one of them and the publisher is ready to do whatever it takes to unmask him - or her.

	Author	Review
United States	Jordan Mintzer The Hollywood Reporter	"As unenticing as that may sound to some, don’t forget the pen is always mightier than the sword, and so what could have been a dull and very French lecture in modern linguistics becomes a high-stakes whodunit"	POS
Australia	DM Bradley The Adelaide Review	"[It] begins well and showcases some strong, intense playing, but it eventually offers one too many plot-skewering/reversing twists."	NEU
Australia	Julian Wood FilmInk	"The premise is admittedly an unusual one, but it doesn’t exactly thrill (...) No doubt the concept seemed like a good idea in the script conferences but when put on the screen, something, er, got lost in translation."	NEU
Australia	David Edwards The Blurb	"It’s one of those rare films you can either choose to follow closely, or just go along for the ride. Either way, it’s a film worth seeking out."	POS
	Matthew Toomey The Film Pie	"Every few weeks, we have a film that sounds great on paper but can’t quite deliver on its lofty ambitions. 'The Translators' is the latest example – a watchable movie that comes with a few flaws."	NEU
