When I decided to see this film I was worried that I would be drawn into one more of the endless and horrendous stories about the Holocaust. I was surprised to find that The Debt deals with the horror from a different perspective.It's about the associated pain of three Mossad (Israeli CIA) agents who's job it is to capture a Nazi war criminal and bring him back to Israel for a show trial. Acting and screen play (with many flashbacks) was riveting . . . and a little confusing if you are not aware of political history. Had some problem with the cinematography.
Bottom line. The Holocaust and other situations and wars where people wantonly kill and maim others and destroy lives of the dead as well as the living will never stop even if we "Never Forget " and build a billion Holocaust museums.
