About this movie

Academy Award winner Helen Mirren and two-time Academy Award nominee Tom Wilkinson star in The Debt, "a pulse-pounding and politically charged suspense thriller" (Karen Durbin, Elle). In 1966, three Mossad agents were assigned to track down a feared Nazi war criminal hiding in East Berlin, a mission accomplished at great risk and personal cost - or was it? Thirty years later, the suspense builds as shocking news and surprising revelations compel retired team member Rachel Singer (Helen Mirren) to take matters into her own hands. Co-starring Sam Worthington, Jessica Chastain and Ciarán Hinds, it's the film critics call "an intelligent thriller with superb performances." (USA Today) 2010 Focus Features. All Rights Reserved.

Ratings and reviews

This is a good thriller that has some really interesting editing and transitions. The Debt is also well cast even though this isn't Helen Mirren's best role. It's not a question of talent but I found her character to be uninteresting. Young Stephan was a much more interesting character and Sam Worthington's David was a missed opportunity. A bit more back story would have been nice for him. Overall, a good film, worth the rent.

Re downloaded. Watched it. It was a little slower than I thought, but still a great movie. The end left u hanging a bit but I like that! Definitely worth watching, but if your all action, maybe wait for netflix

Its not dramatic enough to be a drama and not exciting or action packed enough to be a thriller or action movie. I thought the idea was kind of cool but I didn't enjoy it as much as I'd thought I would
