Defiance (2008)

A great story of the will of a people to live even under the most of extreme circumstances. This movie follows a group of Jews who were forced to refuge in the Belarusian forests. There, they built a village and had to try to survive even under heavy attack from the Nazis. The Follows a group of brothers played by Daniel Craig (Munich, Quantum Of Solace), Liev Schreiber (X-Men Origins: Wolverine, The Manchurian Candidate), and Jamie Bell (Jumper, King Kong) as guys who were trying to escape themselves and they run into all the rest of the runaways and decide to help. They also run into the Soviet Red Army and decide to help them out as well by joining their cause in hope of freedom. This movie is truly captivating and you become astonished at the will these people have to survive. The unordinary circumstances with death, disease, sickness, and the Nazis these people face that lets you know right now you don't have it bad. Believe me, you have the freedom to watch this DVD as we speak. The men do not only do a fantastic job in this movie , but three women are worthy of mention. They are Alexa Davalos (Chronicles Of Riddick, The Mist), an unknown Mia Wasikowska, and European actress Iben Hjejle. I want you to remember those names for the future. I believe this movie is better than Valkyrie if you are looking for action. But they are both great movies and I rate this movie Four and the Half Stars out of Five only because Schindler's List and Saving Private Ryan are still my Five Star rated World War II movies.
