The Debt

• The espionage thriller begins in 1997, as shocking news reaches retired Mossad secret agents Rachel (Helen Mirren) and Stephan (Tom Wilkinson) about their former colleague David (Ciarán Hinds). All three have been venerated for decades by their country because of the mission that they undertook back in 1966, when the trio (portrayed, respectively, by Jessica Chastain, Marton Csokas, and Sam Worthington tracked down Nazi war criminal Vogel (Jesper Christensen) in East Berlin. At great risk, and at considerable personal cost, the team's mission was accomplished - or was it? The suspense builds in and across two different time periods, with startling action and surprising revelations.


• This movie was a decent watch. The suspense wasn't all that suspenseful, but the story playing out was more than intriguing enough to keep my attention throughout. You care about the characters and the back and forth between the present and the past was well put together.


• I would lukewarmly recommend this movie. It's not a must see by any means whatsoever, but there are many worse things out there.
