Craig is back, not as Bond.. but as a Good Actor

Rating: 8/10 (29 May 2009)

This is by far Craig's best performance beside the Bond movies. He pulls off the Russian character of Tuvia very well, the execution of the dramatic scenes work well, and the direction is superb. This is one of the misjudged epics this year, because this should have been one of the top grossing movies, but sadly some overrated nonsense had to take over people at some point.
After Downfall (Der Untergang) this is a war epic that is a must see. There are a few underrated performances from the guy who played Billy Elliot, and he deserves some credit because I really haven't seen him in anything after Billy Elliot so he did well.
Definitely Recommend it, as not many good war movies like this, with such quality actors and direction, are made any more 8 out of 10 as a movie but as a war movie, compared with others it is a 9
