Action Packed Thriller ... Holocaust Drama?

Rating: 6/10 (7 December 2009)

It seems to me that this film is trying very hard to be all things to everyone, and with that it reduces itself.
A bit of inspiration Holocaust drama, a bit of action thriller, a bit of human drama, a bit of Fiddler on the Roof(?).
I would recommend watching the movie. The acting is mostly quite good, the cinematography has enough different sequences to appeal to a range of audiences (though this can, and for me it DOES, end up being somewhat distracting) and the story is both well told and interesting.
While I have a mostly positive view of this movie, it does strike me a little bit as Schindler's List meets Red Dawn -- I wouldn't have been too terribly surprised to hear someone yell at the end "WOVERINES!!!!!"
