Yet another so called true story,by way of Hollywwod.

Rating: 6/10 (6 June 2009)

This supposed true story of how 3 brothers helped save over 1200 Jews in Nazi occupied White Russia (Belarus-now) is the usual Hollywood version.
Edward Zwick directed & co-wrote the the screenplay with Clayton Frohman.
About 15 years ago,Steven Spielburg made Schindler's List a fine movie but it had faults, but you did feel some emotional truths.
Defiance,on the other hand is well acted but I felt no emotion but boredom.I almost dozed off a few times. It has many clichés, like in only one example, 2 of the brothers have a big fight & drift apart for part of movie, BUT at a climatic moment they are back together. Also just to titillate the paying customers,we have a tasteful nude love scene.
The brothers are played by Daniel Craig, Liev Schrieber & Jamie Bell. They are good,the entire cast is good,BUT with so many accents,it was hard to know what language they really'were speaking. Luckily for me I need the sub-titled versions.
