    Barney Elliott delivers a strong debut feature

    The Debt features riveting talent all across the board. Blade's Stephen Dorff and The Bourne Ultimatum's David Strathairn shine as the bankers who attempt to acquire land from a Peruvian family. Barney Elliott has managed to put together a moving cast that portrays the suspenseful story; with a special mention for Elsa Olivero who gives a heartbreaking performance as a nurse who tries desperately to care for her sick mother. The narrative is topical as it involves three separate stories that intertwine because of a deal to buy some land in Peru by New York financiers. In my opinion, newcomer Barney Elliott showcases great direction and writing as presented by a surprising turn the film makes, which caught me off guard. Furthermore, the film is shot beautifully as Peru is such a vibrant setting. It's great to see an independent movie that utilizes every frame from start to finish and kept me on edge. I recommend that any film lover see this feature.

    Very good movie. Similar to Traffic

    This movie plays different story's that interlace. Showing greed, corruption, suffering, and repentance. This movie ending scene and soundtrack are amazing, very similar to Steven Soderbergh Traffic ending and Brian Eno An Ending soundtrack.

    Great emotional pay off

    I like watching movies about other cultures other than my own.

    The structure of The Debt told a human very story as they say:

    A nurse desperate to find a way to get her sick mother the surgery she needs.

    A small boy learning the hard way how to take care of his father's land.

    A man born in Peru and educated in America trying to balance business with doing the right thing for his people.

    It's down to Earth sub plots like this that make the movie pop out and come together so well.

    I really loved the back drop of Peru. it's a beautiful country, and the sound of the wind blowing into the boom mic actually made me feel like I was there.

    The Debt has a lot of layers to it because of all the sub stories and lead to one huge plot about an international fiancé deal going south and Stephen Dorff's character, Oliver's attempts to fix it, but it never gets too complex that you can't follow, even with the subtitles.

    Very low key movie does not hold back the emotional and political drama it is.

    Excellent. Astonishing film work.

    Incredible movie about social matters in Peru. Great production, director and high level film work in general. Amazing actors that remind me of the theatre craft.

    Review for The Debt

    Sometimes in the film culture, there can be a presence of skewed portrayals of different ethnicities or places that aren't the reality of their actual representation. For example, a lot of people see Peru as just an exotic vacation destination because of the beautiful rain forests and Machu Picchu that's the logical destination. It's not depicting Peru in its entirety in the way it deserves. However, I can say with full conviction and admiration that Director Barney Elliot in The Debt, took the time and care to create a thrilling but heart felt drama while fostering Peruvian culture and history by accurately portraying the reality of Peru. He didn't set this high finance deal between New York businessmen and Peruvian farmers regarding the 1968 agrarian reform in Machu Picchu or the exotic shorelines. Rather, he showed the urban, busy life of Lima, the hard working farmland pastures of the Peruvian countryside, and the limited amount of hospital care in Peru to tell a moving yet suspenseful tale on the unexpected consequences of the character's decisions. I recommend this not only for fans of dramas but also it is important to be educated on the reality of our worldly surroundings.
