Photos: Jessica Chastain’s Breakout Year
Chastain starts with Sam Worthington in John Madden’s espionage thriller. Of the movie, Peter Travers wrote, "Chastain (a nifty match-up with [Helen] Mirren) is a live wire, and her scenes with [Martin] Csokas and Worthington have a spark the later scenes lack. No matter. The Debt holds you in its grip."
