But a movie with a meaning, See more 10/21/2016 Pure Llama dung!! Spoilers alert!! How does one slip on a relatively shallow river and die? And maybe the boy didn't have to lose his leg if papa didn't grab a fistful of llama poo and then thinks its a good idea to touch his son's wound...! there goes my night. ..! See more 07/26/2016 It goes without saying in my opinion that this film stood on its own and succeeded with its subject matter and story structure. Up and coming director Barney Elliott took his experience from living in Peru and gave it life to share with others with his multi-narrative. Armed with this excellent screenplay and some clout that I may not be aware of, he was able to attract both Stephen Dorff and David Straithairn to join with him on this project. I think if this film were to leave audiences with any kind of takeaway, it leaves you with a sense of no matter how urgent your own situation may be, take the time to listen to your instinct or the advice of others before you really end up hurting yourself and those around you. That's a big lesson to drop on an audience but a lesson well delivered from Elliott. I would highly recommend it. See more 07/26/2016 Writer-director Barney Elliott demonstrates mastery of the thriller genre with his freshman debut. The Debt has three present-day stories that interconnect based out of the 1968 agrarian reform in Peru. Stephen Dorff is Oliver Campbell, a highly respected banker of a New York firm that attempts to acquire a family's land in Peru. In my opinion, the confrontations that Oliver gets involved with are filled with tension that are comparable to the films of Martin Scorsese. The film also exhibits amazing cinematography that makes Peru a living and breathing character on its own. The Debt is a non-stop thrill ride that is a worthy addition to the thriller genre.
