Defiance (2008)



By Daniel Bradley

Defiance. Harrowing view of Jewish treatment in WWII. I watched this and loved Daniel Craig's Cockney/Eastern European accent. Very satisfying war film.

...However there are some unrealistic moments of suspense or stupidity - purely thrown in for dramatic effect. I have a hard time looking past things like that, especially if they're based on a true story, but that's just me.

Best moment: Brotherly love during the finale.

Worst moments: "OH FFS, THAT WOULD NEVER HAVE HAPPENED!"

Not a feel good film. Definitely have to be in the mood for this one. 7/10.
