This is a story about courage and what humans are capable of, both good and bad. My recommendation is to go without really high expectations. While I am happy that I went to see it, I expected this movie to be as captivating as Valkyrie. While Defiance was well worth my time, my expectations were a little high prior to going to see it.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Emotional. The entire movie from beginning to the very last word was captivating. A remarkable venture into the lives of people we did not know anything about. I hope this director, producer does another movie such as this very soon. This is what this country needs more of.

This movie tells of true events. In WW2, Jewish brothers in Belorussia escape the Nazis, by taking to the nearby forests that they know well. They wind up shepherding hundreds of similar refugees that are accumulated over time. A cohesive society must be formed among these people if they are to survive. And jealousies and rebellion within the ranks must be overcome. That the story is real makes the movie all the more engrossing.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Though perhaps not a classic film, it was certainly well-written, well-directed, and well-acted. Instead of attempting to be "everything to everybody", it might have been enhanced by focusing on just one aspect of this compelling true story: history/cultural perspective, interpersonal dynamics, or the logistics of hiding more than a thousand people in a forest in Russia for several years. Regardless, it is worth seeing and certainly engendered an energetic post-viewing discussion.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

I think this movie is well worth seeing. Daniel Craig and Liev Schrieber played brothers in a way you felt for both of them. They had different ways to handle this horrible situation they were put into along with helping others but in the end family and community were what really mattered. Wonderful movie. One I plan on buying on DVD.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

This is one of those troubling stories that emerge out of the history of our time because most of us are not familiar with the event. Unfortunately, the story (even though vivid for the heroics that emerges) is still staid and tried. It is a rescue play replete with daring, action, violence, intrigue, romance, and issues of uncertainty. Certainly survival matters are portrayed well, adversity is compounded, and the Jewish sense of Exodus is well plotted. The problem comes in the lack of shedding any new light on the real drama of evil that hasn’t already been tried. There are solid characterizations, but it just does rise above an action-adventure flick. I think a Discovery Channel documentary might have done better.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

Believable portrayal of a little known Jewish resistance to the Nazi extermination machine. The ability of human beings to survive unimaginable conditions is inspiring. The film displays the conflicts between passive and militant Jews, between rich and poor, and between anti-Semitic Red Army leaders and their Jewish allies of convenience, as well as the ultimate power of family. Well-acted and vividly filmed.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

This story is a testament to life and the ability of those who faced an adversity we could never dream, let alone survive in this day and age. For however hard your life may seem and the struggles you may now face, this movie is an insipration. I cannot wait to buy this when it comes out on DVD and it will share a place right next to Schindler's List! Please go see this and know that we all have it very good even now.

I found this film to be everything I expected and more. The action keeps interest, the acting was flawless, the costumes and characters were believable and the story was captivating. For people who are tired of holocaust films I would still recommend this one because it does not exaggerate the suffering to win your sympathy. This one is very believable and enjoyable.

I found the movie to be a very emotional experience. It is both sad and shocking that something this tragic actually happened. It is a testament to the strength and character of the human race. What's even more sad to me is that mass genocide is still occuring on this planet, 68 years later.

Very interesting that we're finally getting to know some history that was pretty much unknown until now. The Jewish people have endured so much hardship over the centuries, yet still prevail. The movie was very interesting, a little slow in some places but brilliantly done. One could really feel for the people and their immense struggles and heartache.

Having been a history professor, this account of the true story stuck to the historical facts but didn't include the true suffering (too graphical) of man's inhumanity toward himself). My grand uncle, Moshe, ate but twice a week so that the younger, stronger men and woman could survive. This is a must see, especially to the non-believers, i.e. FOO (Friends of Obama). We should always remember how tough it was then and now, to be a Jew. Shalom to all. Wills4u2

I am astounded that in all the years I've tried to watch or read the accounts of the Holocaust that I have never heard of the Bielski Otriad - WOW - I was also glued to my seat - Intensely riveted to the screen. The acting was wonderful - the subtitles didn't bother me at all - they spoke enough English to make the reading of the screen in parts trivial.I've got to read the book. Go see it. Its wonderful!

This is a heart-wrenching account of the courage it took for Jews to remain alive during the Holocaust. I was glued to my seat and did not move for the entire 2+ hours. The acting was superb and the story-line was compelling. I believe the Jews say "always remember", but it is important for everyone to remember and to be aware of the level of absolute cruelty that is possible in man.
The only thing I wondered about during the movie was whether or not it should have used sub-titles for the entire movie. Go see this movie!!!
