Overview
Rachel Singer is a former Mossad agent who tried to capture a notorious Nazi war criminal – the Surgeon of Birkenau – in a secret Israeli mission that ended with his death on the streets of East Berlin. Now, 30 years later, a man claiming to be the doctor has surfaced, and Rachel must return to Eastern Europe to uncover the truth. Overwhelmed by haunting memories of her younger self and her two fellow agents, the still-celebrated heroine must relive the trauma of those events and confront the debt she has incurred.

Viewing Notes
The story is well told but I expected a little more depth and weight to the moral message. The Debt takes you up to the line but never really pushes anything over it.
I know this is a remake of the original Israeli film; I’d like to give it a watch and compare the two.
Despite my comments above, it’s still well worth a watch and I wish I’d have seen it on the big screen.
