Title: The Debt Genre: Action/Adventure, Drama, Suspense Starring: Sam Worthington, Helen Mirren Director: John Madden Studio: Miramax Films Runtime: 113 Minutes Release Date: December 6, 2011 Format: BLU-RAY Discs: 1 MPAA Rating: Rating: ( )Grade: A Factoid: Matthew Vaughn, director of Kick-Ass and X-Men First Class, wrote the screenplay for the film. The Debt is a drama that jumps backwards and forwards in its timeline to tell the story of a trio of Mossad agents who infiltrate Berlin to capture a suspected Nazi war criminal. The story begins in present day where we find Rachel Singer (played by both Helen Mirren and Jessica Chastain, in two different points in the timeline) at a book release party for her daughter who has written about her mothers exploits in Berlin. Unfortunately there is a hidden truth somewhere in the story that comes back to threaten all three of them. The film is a remake of the 2007 Israeli film of the same name and is directed by John Madden (Shakespeare In Love). The film also stars Tom Wilkinson (Batman Begins), Sam Worthington (Avatar), Ciaran Hinds (Rome), Marton Csokas (Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King), and Jesper Christensen (Melancholia). QUALITY: At the beginning of the film color is a bit muted, light a bit off, but the film begins in a flashback. This kind of anomaly occurs in the film when certain contextual back flashes occur. When you see this change in film quality happen it is because your experiencing the films back story through a filter of sorts, it will make sense when you see the film. Unfortunately there are small minute occurrences of black levels fading in passing shots, but mostly ignorable stuff you will have forgotten by the time the film reaches its end. Color is organic looking; it never gets too bright, just stays a neutral proper color. Definition is sharp and revealing. It really is a fantastic film to admire for its capture quality. Audio is also engaging with dialogue front heavy with ambient sound channeling through the side speakers (airplanes, cars, chatter). I didn’t notice much by way of rear channel immersion but the audio for the film works extremely well in placing you right in the thick of things, which isn’t to hard as the story is so enveloping.
