Atrocious

Rating: 1/10 (7 February 2011)

I am sorry, but this is simply an awful movie. The only good thing about this movie is Waltz and even he is unable to waltz this movie into at least a mediocrity. I don't understand the desire to create something that did not exist. Jewish resistance to German rule was not abundant or organized, but it was not as insufficient to force movie-makers into making these cartoons; Hollywood finds itself into a familiar territory yet again: rewriting history for future generations. Over 100 Heros of the Soviet Union (the highest medal given to soviet soldier during war, usually after death in action) were Jews. Why not make a movie about any one of them? What the hell was this? And you take THIS to Cannes?
If anyone likes World War Two movies and appreciates historic validity of cinema, do watch the 2010 Russian Movie "Brest Fortress" (Брестская крепость, both dubbed and subtitled versions exist). The main character of the movie and one of the Fortress defenders was also Jewish.
