Review of The Debt (2010) by Gareth R — 25 Jul 2012
Anything with Helen Mirren in it is always going to be good and in "The Debt", she doesn't disappoint. Throw in Tom Wilkinson as well and you have a great movie centered around an Israeli Mossad plot in 1966 to capture a Nazi war criminal and take him back to Israel to be put on trial. But the plan goes very badly wrong from the very beginning, and the agents soon have to make a pact of silence. But many years later in 1997, one of the agents has a crisis of conscience, which threatens to unravel the secrets of what happened back in 1966. The other agents realise that they finally need to finish what they started 30 years earlier.
The only complaint I will make about the movie is that it is slightly predictable what will happen in the end. Other than that, it's definitely worth watching.
