Worst Mossad agents ever

I usually like tense spy thrillers, but I was seriously disappointed by this one. The "real" action takes place in 1965, when three Mossad agents work in East Berlin to apprehend a Nazi criminal.

Contrary to Mossad's reputation, these are the worst agents, ever. Two young men and a woman (Rachel, played by Chastain) who get entangled in a sex triangle and mess up their mission, because they are too busy with their cavorting.

Besides being unprofessional in their behavior, they are also easily influenced by the Nazi criminal, turned into hostage. If it was me, I could not care less about the babbling of a criminal Nazi, but these three Jew agents listen to him as if he was the oracle of Delphi.

Back to the future, in 1995, their dirty little secret is almost out in the open. The escaped Nazi is going to give an interview to an Ukranian newspaper. Therefore, the woman (older Rachel, played by Mirren) is sent to Ukraina to silence him for good.

The movie ends with a geriatric denouement. Whatever is achieved falls into the category of "too little, too late". I seriously hope real agents are made of better stuff than these three. Also, spy movies deserve more engaging characters.

Jessica Chastain is amazing

In 1997 Tel Aviv, Sarah writes a book celebrating her parents Rachel Singer (Helen Mirren) and Stephan Gold (Tom Wilkinson) as well as David Peretz (Ciarán Hinds) who ran a successful Mossad operation to hunt down the surgeon of Birkenau in 1966 East Germany. As Stephan is about to take in David, David deliberately walks in front of a truck and gets killed. There are family secrets and state secrets as the movie tells the story from 1965. Rachel (Jessica Chastain) is on her first mission. Stephan (Marton Csokas) is the leader with David (Sam Worthington) completing the group. Their target is Dr. Bernhardt (Jesper Christensen) who they suspect is the evil Dieter Vogel.

I like the spy thriller mystery in this. The biggest and most amazing thing in this movie is Jessica Chastain. She is a revelation. It's definitely a big hurdle to play a younger Helen Mirren. She handles it with no problems. Marton Csokas is compelling but Sam Worthington is very wooden. Jesper Christensen does a very interesting murky performance. All of it is put together in a nice quiet thriller.

Engaging Espionage Thriller with Disappointing Conclusion

In 1965, the Mossad agents Rachel (Jessica Chastain), Stephan (Marton Csokas) and David (Sam Worthington) are assigned to kidnap the Nazi Dieter Vogel (Jesper Christensen), a.k.a. The Surgeon of Birkenau, in East Berlin. They succeed in the abduction but fail in bringing him to the west side. While staying with him in an apartment building, Vogel escapes but the trio of young agents lies to their government and tells that Rachel killed Vogel while he was running away. They have been honored in their country by their action for more than thirty years.

In 1997, Rachel's daughter Sarah Gold (Romi Aboulafia) releases a book in Tel Aviv about the mission of her mother and the two other agents. Rachel Singer (Helen Mirren), Sarah's father Stephan Gold (Tom Wilkinson), who is paralytic, and David Peretz (Ciarán Hinds), who is missing, are retired and Rachel is uncomfortable with the lie that they have been living with.

Out of the blue, David appears in Tel Aviv and commits suicide. Stephan investigates and finds that Dieter Vogel is apparently alive in a hospital in Kiev, Ukraine, and will be interviewed by a journalist. Now Rachel has to travel to Kiev to conclude what they should have done thirty years ago.

"The Debt" is an engaging espionage thriller with good story and development of characters, great screenplay, acting and direction but a disappointing conclusion. There are flaws, but final redemption of Rachel is unjustifiable for a person that has lived with a lie for more than thirty years and whose decision would not affect only her life, but the lives of her daughter, her former partner and mainly people of her nation who had believed on their words. Sometimes a lie may be useful and that was the case. Her decision will certainly only bring pain and nothing else. My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): "No Limite da Mentira" ("In the Limit of the Lie")
