Director - John Madden
Lead Actors

Young David - Sam Worthington
Stefan - Tom Wilkinson
David - Ciarán Hinds

This movie was originally scheduled to be released in 2010, but delays have been caused due to the prolonged process of the Miramax buy out. I hope this doesn't hurt the movie's chances to do well. The story line of The Debt is solid and will be undoubtedly well acted by a superb cast.

Helen Mirren, Tom Wilkinson and Ciarán Hinds play former Israeli Mossad agents who in 1965 were sent on a secret mission to capture and kill a notorious Nazi war criminal the Surgeon of Birkenau. 30 years later, a man surfaces claiming to be the doctor who was supposedly killed in the streets of Berlin decades earlier. Rachel Singer (Helen Mirren) must travel back to Eastern Europe to find the truth, along the way, being forced to relive the trauma of the original mission, deal with her own haunting memories of who she was, and confront the debt she has incurred.

Mirren, Wilkinson and Hinds' characters all have younger counter parts in the movie, as the story of what happened on the original mission is told. These counter parts are played by Jessica Chastain, Marton Csokas and Sam Worthington respectively.


The drama/thriller looks like it will keep you on the edge of your seat.
