The Debt

There are parallel stories here: one in the past and one in the present. The one in the past is the “A” plot, and the one in the present is the “B” plot. But it should have been the other way around. Because the “B” plot in the present has Helen Mirren in it, ready and willing wrap-up some unfinished business with an old Nazi. And that’s the fun part, watching the old Jewish Mossad agent grappling with the evil, arthritic Nazi. The stuff in the past, though necessary, drags on way too long. So bits of this were good. It’s like saying the main course was bland, but the desert was DELICIOUS.
