Excellent, Powerful Film!

Rating: 10/10 (19 June 2009)

This is one of the better World War Two movies released this decade. The Academy definitely overlooked this film. No, this is not Slumdog but it's close enough. I read some of the negative comments and the commenters must have been robots or they did not see this film.
This is based on a true story. Basically, three Jewish brothers escape from the Germans to live in a forest with limited supplies and food. They end up making alliances with the Russian army.
The acting is excellent. Daniel Craig, Liev Schrieber, Jamie Bell, they were all great! All the extras did a great job as well.
The one thing that was not overlooked by the Academy is the music. James Newton Howard is a very good composer. Powerful music, indeed.
Edward Zwick is a great director despite what everyone says about him. I seen Blood Diamond and The Last Samurai. This film is on par with those films or even better.
Overall, this is a powerful film that should not be forgotten. I rate this film 10/10.
