Movie #508 "The Debt" was a taut scripted mystery that I enjoyed. The editing worked well going back and forth from past to present, the music was good, the acting by the women was excellent, and it had a good strong theme. Now, for the negatives......Sam Worthington, though good looking, is really a stick, esp. without the beautiful cinematography of Avatar driving the film --- and the movie is very violent, esp. the ending (which I disliked and almost gave it a 3 because of it). But the biggest complaint is the casting -------- I got the two men mixed up going from past to present to past mainly because the one past guy looks more like the present other guy, and vice versa. The two men's counterparts should have been switched. Otherwise, the movie is well done and well worth going to see. I recommend it, but be aware of the amount of blood in it.
I rated it 4 stars out of 5.
