I vaguely remember hearing about The Debt when it first came out. I do love Helen Mirren. But we rarely go see movies in theaters, and it is one that flew enough below the radar that I had completely forgotten about it.

We watched it tonight. It was a little more drama than action, but well-acted drama, which matters. I’m pretty sure I had heard the basics of the story before (thanks to a writing friend), but that didn’t mean I knew what was going to happen. The ending was certainly not uplifting, but still satisfying. And I’ll take that.
