Good movie overall but a little weak on the realities

Rating: 7/10 (17 March 2011)

This a not a bad movie and the actors do a convincing job. However, there are little things that do not quite compute.
These little things did not put me off watching the movie but they were annoying. Daniel Craig (supposedly a from a rural area in Belorussia) wears a fancy Swiss watch made somewhere in the 1990s). The subtitles of what is being said in Russian are not always accurate. Where the subtitles say that the local police get 500 rubles for every Jew they deliver the speaker is actually saying that you get a year's release from taxes. First, it is weird to hear a Belorussian peasant rejoice at being living tax-free for a year, and also, Germans did not pay in Rubles but in Reichsmarks.
