Based on the true-life story of 4 Jewish brothers who escaped from the Nazi genocide and went on to create a Jewish resistance movement. Tuvia Bielski (Craig) along with his younger brother Zus Bielski (Schreiber), Asael Bielski (Bell) and Aron Bielski (MacKay) escape from their Polish village and attempt at hiding out in the forest. Slowly and steadily, more Jewish survivors find their way to the Bielski brothers and very soon a small community of Jewish survivors come under the leadership of the Bielski partisans. Zus and Tuvia have a difference of opinion where Zus wants to join hands with the Soviets and fight the Germans and not care about the community. Tuvia, on the other hand, wants to help those who cannot fight for themselves and offer them a chance to live. The movie uniquely showcases the brutality of war without focusing too much on violence and blood. Daniel Craig and Schreiber do complete justice to the role, with talking in Polish, having an accent et al. A good war entertainer which does not offer anything exceptional but is still watchable and enjoyable.

Thumbs up: Great acting, good story

Thumbs down: Everything is above average and not exceptional

Rating: 7.3/10
