The Debt is a pretty good movie about 3 Israeli agents who have the task of going to capture a war criminal from East Berlin. The movie begins with them coming back to Isreal to a heroes welcome, then flashes 30 years later to them celebrating a book being released about their heroic capture and killing of the Surgeon of Berkinau. Rachel's (Helen Mirren/Jessica Chastain) daughter writes the book, and Rachel reads and excerpt from the book to open the story of how they captured him. Then, after months of captivity, he escapes, but after fighting with him, Rachel crawls over and shoots him from the balcony and he dies. There begins to be some sense of doubt cast from some people in the Ukraine about what, actually, happened. The movie then flashes back and walks through the whole event to show whether the events are exactly as told in the book. The only part that was confusing was who was who in the flashbacks and flash forwards, but you can figure it out. The ending is slightly anti-climatic. It is not a great movie, but I would reccommend it. 3 M&Ms.
