Featured Comments/Tips
Good movie, boring at some parts but good overall.
The inconsistency of Worthington''s accent is a bit distracting, but Wilkinson, Mirren, 'amp; Csokas deliver excellent performances, and Hinds is heart-breaking as the elder '"David.'" More than anything, though, I''m curious to see the original Israeli film, Ha Hov, upon which The Debt is based.
Excellent acting, direction and story. There was no surprise in Ms. Mirren but the young lady from the HELP impressed me and caught me off guard. Well done. It was sad but well done.
this film reminded me of the case of the Brazilian abuser joao de deus
Absolute abysmal film, the Mossad were never this incompetent
The Debt is a suspenseful thriller, but fails to sustain its mystery and intrigue. The plot, told in present day and through flashbacks, centers around a Mossad operation during the 1960s to extract a Nazi war criminal. However, the present day section, about how that operation is coming back to haunt the operatives, is underdeveloped. Still, all the actors give pretty solid performances; especially Jessica Chastain. Yet ultimately The Debt is an unsatisfying film, and doesn’t provide a very compelling story.
