Disgusting. Dishonest. A Propaganda Film That Defies Truth

Rating: 1/10 (30 June 2019)

I couldn't write a more reproachful review for this sickening garbage of a propaganda film that spits upon the memory of Poles and Russians who suffered unbelievable horrors to the barbaric bandits glorified within this disgusting narrative.
A typical Hollywood movie with sellout Daniel Craig who sacrifices all dignity within this piece for the sake of monetary gain and career. Craig gives up any remnants of respect he had left at this point of his career and confirms his established role as a puppet for propaganda pieces meant to harm and confuse public opinion.
As to be predicted in standard Hollywood films, world conflicts are painted as black and white events where certain parties were guiltless and others all to blame. In reality, the world doesn't work that way. The "heroes" of this film were some of the most evil people you could imagine who committed despicable crimes you could not believe.
These monsters murdered, tortured, raped and mercilessly hunted down native Poles. They did NOT fight the Germans. They hunted Poles like a pack of bloodthirsty wolves and stole food from an already starving people. Motivated only by their inherent hatred for Poles, the chaos caused by the war gave them the freedom to act out what they had wanted. They were monsters before the war even began, as Daniel Craig's character was a smuggler before the outbreak of WW2. What an upstanding citizen, huh? This wasn't about "defiance" to "oppression". This was about genocide against an innocent people.
Of course the masses will be susceptible to the propaganda in this film as the average movie goer doesn't question the validity of what they see on the screen. Just add some emotional violin music to any scene and they can empathize with the devil if they have to. It would be hard to find any film at all that shows the truth of what happened or that even gives the Poles half the respect they deserve for their contributions during the war and solidarity for the pain they had suffered at the hands of Bolsheviks and Bielski "Partisans".
The main lesson to learn from this film; if any. Is to show defiance towards the status quo and ask if what you're seeing is truthful and honest. Investigate what happened yourself and give respect to those who really suffered.
