This movie is absolutely amazing, must see

Rating: 9/10 (7 January 2009)

I went to an early showing of Defiance last night. I went into the movie with your normal expectations: didn't look bad, didn't look awesome, but looked like it would probably be a pretty good movie. But I left the theater amazed at how brilliant this movie was. Basically the character Daniel Craig plays helps the escaping Jewish people start a community in the woods and teaches them to fight when necessary. They own the crap out of the Nazis. You really feel for every character in this film through all of their struggles, their loss, their hope. As many may think, this is not a war movie. The movie is shown entirely from the viewpoint of the Jewish people. You see the Nazis for about 2 seconds before they get shot each time, but nothing more. This movie is about emotion, not fighting. In fact, one of the main messages you get from the movie is that the people shown made sure they did not become the animals that the Nazis were. They learned that they're revenge was not to kill back, but to live. The acting was phenomenal, the action scenes were great and well paced, and it wasn't boring at all. This movie was fantastic and I highly recommend it for anyone. No matter what type of movie you enjoy, you will love this movie.
