The Debt (1:44) 2011
Rachel, David, and Stefan are heroes. It's 1997 Israel and Stefan and Rachel's daughter has written a book detailing the mission as Massad agents bringing a Nazi doctor out of East Berlin to be tried as a crimes against humanity. Although Rachel is very proud of her daughter, she is uncomfortable with the attention. The movie flashes back to the 1967 mission and the plan to kidnap Dr. Vogel and smuggle him out of the country unfolds. As the mission is about to be successful, the trio hits a snag and they have to hold onto the doctor until another plan is developed. Keeping Vogel hidden in their apartment is causing conflict among the team members. Will the team's mission be successful or will their plan fall apart? The movie sifts back to 1997 with Rachel and Stefan coping with David's suicide. Will past secrets be kept safe or will the truth finally be revealed. Helen Mirren, Tom Wilkerson and Ciaran Hinds are excellent as the present day retired Massad agents. The actors who play the team in 1967 are also very good. This a quality story that moves along but it does have some short, intense violent scenes. See it.
