Flash Movie Review: The Debt

Oct 30

I liked the idea behind this movie and it started out well. A trio of Mossad agents are on a mission to capture a Nazi doctor who performed horrible experiments on prisoners. The mission takes an unexpected turn and the 3 must keep a secret, that plagues them 30 years later. I always love Helen Mirren but I could not take my eyes off of Jessica Chastain — good acting chops on this one. The last half of the movie was a big disappointment for me and I felt the ending was a cop out.

2 1/3 stars

About moviejoltz

From a long line of movie afficionados, one brother was the #1 renter of movies in the country with Blockbuster, I am following in the same traditions that came before me. To balance out the long hours seated in dark movie theaters, I also teach yoga and cycling. For the past 3 years, I have correctly picked the major Oscar winners... so join me as we explore the wonder of movies and search for that perfect 4 star movie.

    I was riveted by this film. It’s one of those “this is what your government authorizes that you aren’t supposed to know about” type movies… In this case the Israeli government. Agreed… Jessica Chastain was a standout here and rhe completely understated Sam Worthington was the perfect compliment for her. I’m intrigued enough by the story to google the surgeon of Birkenau.
