Review of The Debt (2010) by Jeff L — 01 Mar 2012
Living a lie for a long time (30 years) can be an interminable torture for some, even more so if those involved are Mosad spies held in high regard. There's the usual love triangle among the spies, the usual planning in abducting a monster surgeon and the usual running and shooting for this genre.
These people lead double lives, that is, they lie for a living, so I don't understand why they find it so hard to accept that they created lie to save themselves from blame and public ignominy. Is it such a burden to enjoy the recognition and presumably, windfall, that would have come their way after they lied about the monster that escaped from their incompetent clutches? I also find it amusing to see Mirren going in for a kill in her character's golden years.
The agents target the butcher doctor in the 1960s, so I presume that his character would be about 50 years old. Yet, he shows such amazing dexterity and strength to overcome the lithe and strong female agent.
He's still strong 30 years later when he faces the female agent again.
