Author Topic: The Debt Mike Croaro Master Film Handler Posts: 394 From: Millbrae, CA Registered: Apr 2005 posted 09-05-2011 11:23 AM                     Hmmm...No one has posted on this film yet? Saw the film yesterday in Oakland, CA at the Grand Lake Theatre. Very well made drama/thriller. I completely enjoyed it. It was both entertaining and compelling. Probably one of the best independent films to be released wide this year.

The audience really needs to pay attention to what is happening. There is a HUGE surprise about 2/3 into the picture that changes everything. So, if you see this movie, please pay very close attention. I think it ranks with CRYING GAME for movie surprises...I sure didn't see it coming. Audience was about 1/2 full for a Friday Matinee. Most were over 40 years of age. Seen at Marcus UltraScreen Crosswoods, a former Imax venue. Sound quality was the best I've heard in a LONG time. Sound was tight and clear, with a solid powerful bass. Image seems to be a bit brighter than it used to be in this location. Nice job, Marcus folks!!  |  IP: Logged Jonathan Goeldner Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1360 From: Washington, District of Columbia Registered: Jun 2008 posted 09-07-2011 09:48 AM                     I thought this was an excellent film, but I couldn't buy that the actor that played the young Stefan (Marton Csokas) would look like Tom Wilkenson. Marton though was a dead ringer and better choice for the older David Peretz (actor Ciaran Hinds). I thought the grading/lighting scheme of the film was fascinating, the beach scenes were nearly bleached out in an interesting stylistic sense.  |  IP: Logged
