 The Debt Movie

The most up-to-date effort from Shakespeare in Love filmmaker John Madden, The Debtfollows a trio of Israeli agents (Sam Worthington's David, Martin Csokas' Stefan, and Jessica Chastain's Rachel) since they attempt to abduct (and provide for justice) a notorious Nazi criminal - while using the film unfolding within the past plus the late '90s, if your three comrades (Ciarán Hinds' David, Tom Wilkinson's Stefan, and Helen Mirren's Rachel) have to reunite following your publication of a book detailing their efforts. Madden generally does a nice job of establishing an impressively tense atmosphere, using the stretch set with a dingy apartment - the place that the agents are holding the aforementioned criminal - undoubtedly standing like a highlight from the proceedings. The 3 from the younger actors are quite good of their respective roles, while using the real surprise here Worthington (ie after his wooden turn in the festival's Yesterday evening, it's rather unexpected to uncover that he's actually quite compelling here). The inclusion of some electrifying interludes - ie the Nazi tries to goad David into beating him up - staves off the stagy atmosphere one might've anticipated, yet it's ultimately difficult to muster up much interest in the love triangle that crops up about midway through. Itrrrs worth remembering how the film does exhaust steam since it progresses, with the anticlimactic (and increasingly preposterous) third act effectively diminishing the impact with the frequently enthralling opening hour. Still, The Debt is often a solid little thriller that undoubtedly stands to be a marked improvement over Madden's last foray in the genre (2008's miserable Killshot).
