The Debt Reviews
Dallas Morning News
Michael Granberry
Rather than focus on the evil of the Nazi villain, it wallows in the collective regret of three Israeli Mossad agents who in 1966 let the bad guy slip away when they had him in their clutches.
UGO
Jordan Hoffman
So The Debt, much like the State of Israel, has some existential problems. So much of it is good, however, that it is easy to ignore some misguided steps.
Christianity Today
Alissa Wilkinson
Based on an acclaimed Israeli film from 2007, this mostly retains the feeling of a foreign thriller, without succumbing to aggressive Hollywoodization.
Beliefnet
Nell Minow
The movie works very well as a thriller that benefits from some ambitious aspirations and superb performances...But it spins out of control in the last 20 minutes.
Detroit News
Tom Long
The Debt has the overall air of an Oscar contender that never got into the ring -- well-made, but not spectacular. Still, it serves as a fine, full introduction to Chastain's potential.
Film Comment Magazine
Laura Kern
The film delivers both as a love story and as an old-fashioned espionage thriller that no amount of implausibility can spoil.
New York Magazine/Vulture
David Edelstein
After a gripping first half, turns into one howler after another. And yet it's still gripping.
The New Yorker
Anthony Lane
There is an awkward, irresoluble tension between the movie's urge to thrill and the weighty pull of the historical obligations that it seeks to assume. How much, to be blunt, should we be enjoying ourselves?
The Atlantic
Christopher Orr
Vogel's introduction, 'This is my hand, and this is the speculum,' may at last have displaced the 'Is it safe?' of Christian Szell--another Mengele stand-in--as the most discomfiting sentence ever uttered by doctor to patient onscreen.
TheWrap
Leah Rozen
Worthington shows a greater range and vulnerability here than he did in either Avatar or Clash of the Titans, where he mostly just flexed his pecs. He may be a genuine movie star yet.
Wall Street Journal
John Anderson
There are movies you want to like that just won't let you.
CinemaBlend
Katey Rich
The rare kind of thriller that's even more interesting below the surface.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
Helen Mirren pulls off the impressive trick of dominating the movie even while she's absent for huge chunks of its running time.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
Awkwardly marrying "Munich"-style moral conundrums with cheesy Robert Ludlum stylings, the slow-paced thriller "The Debt" never pays off.
Washington Post
John DeFore
The Debt roots itself in reality more plausibly than most contemporary spy films without sacrificing the genre's tense thrills.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
A strong cast fails to rescue this ponderous Oscar bait.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
The moral dilemmas faced by these three offer provocative material for thought.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
The thrills work out better than the smarts.
NPR
Ella Taylor
The movie drowns the deeper questions it raises in a sadistic procedural, an endless circular motion of fight scenes whose only justification is themselves.
Film.com
William Goss
Madden's version maintains all the literal and figurative scars left on these characters, but everything here is made at least one degree more obvious, even as the screenplay tries mightily to hide its secrets.
