The Debt

THE DEBT


The 2011 film The Debt is a thriller, which also contains action. A lot of the film is based on events from the 1940's, as well as the modern day. But due to the majority of the film being set around the 40's, the
target audience will be mainly the ages of 40 plus.

The film is released on Friday 30th September 2011 and has been rated certificate 15. As the target audience is around 40 plus, there wasn't a real need to certificate the film below a 15.

From watching the trailer, the story line is about 3 young Mossad agents who are sent to track down a nazi surgeon. It shows that it is action packed and switches between the young Mossad agents, to them 30 years on.

 Helen Mirren features in this film and from the promotional side, the main focus is on her, also starring along side of her are, Sam Worthington, Jessica Chastain, Tom Wilkinson and Ciaran Hinds. The older cast bring with it a slightly older audience, so it is most likely to be seen by middle aged people.

Although it has this audience, it is a mainstream film and is shown in multiplex cinemas, rather than art house cinemas. This could be as the film hasn't been released yet and art house cinemas tend to screen films that have been released for about a month. In Cineworld the price for an adult ticket to see The Debt costs £8 and at the Odeon it costs £7.85.

The film premiered on 21st September 2011 at The Curzon Mayfaire, Helen Mirren and Colin Firth attended. The Debt has a Facebook page dedocated to the film and the trailer was posted onto the wall on 27th April 2011.
