“The Debt” centers around three Mossad agents on the hunt for an escaped Nazi war criminal and the events surrounding his capture.
The film, starring Helen Mirren, Sam Worthington and Tom Wilkinson, is a slow moving character piece that is just too manipulative and formulaic.
That’s not to say there aren’t good performances in the film, there are. Helen Mirren never disappoints and in “The Debt” she manages to perfectly convey an emotionally scarred and broken woman who’s secret past is coming to light.
But Mirren’s performance is marred by the script’s multiple plots and detours.
In the end “The Debt” is only an average spy drama with no surprises.
It gets a C and is rated R.
