Preview: The Debt (2010)

Synopsis:

30 years after capturing and killing a Nazi war criminal, three Mossad agents must cope with the possibility that a new man claiming to be this Nazi has resurfaced.

• Poster: D+

Review:

Conceptually, I like the map element; but in terms of execution, it's rather bland and uneventful and not at all the kind of work that people A) hang on their walls or B) look at and say "I want to see that".

• Trailer: B

Review:

A bit too action heavy, the trailer conjures up memories of Munich without feeling as heavy. The concept is mostly original and should prove relatively interesting.

Oscar Prospects:

With a late-December release, there is little doubt this one will be pushed for Oscar consideration and I think it may very well receive it consider the subject and the star wattage behind it.

Release Date:

• December 29, 2010
