"The Debt" Beats Down Opening Competition

It's nice to see that John Madden's "The Debt," a relatively smart, tidy adult thriller will likely out-gross "Apollo 18" and "Shark Night 3D" to take 2nd for the weekend. 
-
As I said (in far greater words) in my review, "The Debt" pretty much works in spite of the fact that its decades-spanning narrative never fully takes off on an emotional level and that its characters, portrayed by two different actors, never really feel like one. 

-
Nevertheless, quality entertainment aimed at older audiences that performs decently (especially delayed, troublesome films like "The Debt") deserves some recognition - it's too rare a sight.
