There’s a little film doing the rounds at the moment that you might of heard of….. Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. While that film continues to win critical acclaim and draw in huge audiences, there’s another good movie released today that also deals with similar themes of paranoia, conspiracy and deceit. The Debt isn’t quite as meticulous or contemplative as Tinker Tailor, but if that film left you feeling a little cold, The Debt offers a similarly intricate and well-crafted thriller which is far more traditional but doesn’t take its audience for granted.
Jumping between events taking place in 1966 and then the aftermath in 1997, the cleverly constructed narrative is centered around an operation to capture a Nazi war criminal nicknamed “The Surgeon of Birkenau”. Three agents are tasked to extradite the man responsible for conducting inhuman experiments on Jewsish prisoners; Rachel Singer (Jessica Chastain...

In the spy thriller The Debt, viewers are treated to a story spanning over 30 years that covers love, heartbreak, morality and revenge. In an impressive bit of storytelling, the narrative goes back and forth from 1966 to 1997 sometimes jumping ahead of itself only to return to the same scene and show just a little bit more and change the thematic elements working within it. The majority of the story is set in the earlier time period of 1966 where three Mossad agents (Marton Csokas, Jessica Chastain and Sam Worthington) come together to bring the Nazi war criminal Dieter Vogel back to Israel to stand trial. The plan goes awry leaving them stranded in East Berlin with Vogel aka The Surgeon of Birkenau. The movie is bookended along with a few other dribs and drabs with the more modern...

Helen Mirren and Jessica Chastain play a Mossad agent that has to come to terms with her actions in The Debt, John Madden’s (Shakespeare In Love, Mrs. Brown) latest piece of low-key drama. But unlike his earlier pieces that dealt with serious decisions people make in their day-to-day lives, The Debt deals with life-or-death decisions made in the hopes of settling a Debt that could never truly be repaid.
The Debt is a remake of the 2007 film of the same name, but with a star-studded cast, and probably a much higher budget. But the story is much the same; in 1997 Rachel Singer, a Mossad agent that has become famous in Israel for her part in the capture of “The Surgeon of Treblinka” in 1966 (with the help of fellow agents Stephan Gold and David Peretz) finds out that the “surgeon” is still alive. All those years ago, the three agents...

A new trailer has been released for Academy Award–nominated director John Madden's (Killshot) new movie, The Debt, a remake of the Israeli thriller HaHov. Written by Jane Goldman, Matthew Vaughn, and Peter Straughan, the movie stars Academy Award–winner Helen Mirren as Rachel Singer, a former Mossad agent who comes out of retirement to track down and kill Nazi war criminal Dieter Vogel (Jesper Christensen), "The Surgeon of Birkenau," who has surfaced in a small Ukrainian town 35 years after she supposedly shot and killed him. The story unfolds in both the '60s — with Jessica Chastain as young Rachel and Sam Worthington and Marton Csokas as her Nazi-hunting Mossad partners, David and Stefan, respectively — and in the '00s, with Ciarán Hinds and Tom Wilkinson playing the elder David and Stefan.

Share The Debt trailer is online. This makes us happy. The script features contributions from Kick-Ass queen Jane Goldman, which is reason enough to get excited. But then there's the awesome plot.

Thirty years later a man in Ukraine claims he is the notorious Nazi; the agents must reunite and discover if rumours circulating are true. Check out the trailer below.

I read that Sam Worthington just started a production company. Somebody needs to 'splain all this to me, because I'm clearly missing why he's the biggest deal to come down the pike in half a dozen years or so. Blockbuster after blockbuster, so many roles he has turn down movies that eventually go to Johnny Depp, and now a production company to allow for even more vertical integration. He's a brand now.
It's not that I don't think he's talented, just not more talented than everybody else. He might turn a few more doubters' heads with his work in The Debt, a remake of an Israeli film from a few years ago that co-stars Helen Mirren and Ciarán Hinds (both of whom I'd say are more gifted than Sammy). But it's really Mirren's film, from what I can gather. She plays Rachel Singer, an ex-Mossad agent in charge of tracking...

If there’s one big lesson that the new trailer for John Madden’s time-spanning drama The Debt teaches us, it’s that Nazis are bad. Admittedly, that’s not exactly a new idea, so how about something fresh? Well, turns out that Sam Worthington can expect to look like Ciaran Hinds when he gets older.But The Debt has darker themes and more serious subjects on its mind than just the wrinkly future-Worthington. Starting in 1965, it follows three relatively fresh-faced Mossad agents (Worthington, Jessica Chastain and Marton Csokas), who are tasked with hunting down a notorious Nazi war criminal doctor known as The Surgeon. Their mission hits some problems, but they believe they’ve completed their task.Then, 30 years later, a man claiming to be their old target surfaces in the Ukraine and now the trio – played by Hinds, Helen Mirren and Tom Wilkinson – must reunite in a very...
