Excellent film.

Rating: 8/10 (19 September 2009)

Daniel Craig was (in my opinion) an extremely poor choice to replace Sean Connery as the new James Bond. In this film he is perfect. Excellent and convincing in his role as Tuvia Bielski, the true story of a band of Polish Jews who defied and beat the Nazis in their determination to survive. They saved 1200 lives. They now have 10,000 descendants. The Bielski brothers lived and came to America after the war.
Sustained my interest and was suspenseful and unpredictable throughout. Entirely believable. I have read the book with a full account of their heroic actions, and I find the film accurate. (If the director and producer took slight liberties for the purpose of telling the story, I have no complaints or criticism of their decisions. Artists are allowed poetic licence for exactly that purpose.) I highly recommend this well done movie.
