OK - this one is a ton of fun. If you like a thriller, rent this film. It has the obligatory surprise, but what it really has is acting! WooHOO!! How often do you find a thriller with Helen Mirren, Tom Wilkinson and Ciarán Hinds? Simple answer: not often. Definitely not often enough. So these three play the older versions of three Mossad agents who were on a mission in the 60's that made them famous. And of course, they have been carrying around the secrets of that mission every since.
The younger Helen is played by Jessica Chastain, and I'm getting really impressed with this gal. She's everywhere this year, and I haven't seen a bad performance yet. But the eye-opener for me was Sam Worthington as the young David (Ciarán Hinds younger version). I was very impressed, and could not figure out where I had seen him before. Well, I couldn't remember because I had blocked it out: Avatar. He was also in Clash of the Titans, which I may never see (with any luck).
Watch this one - it is way better than average.
