We found this true tale of daring and determination an inspiring counterpoint to the infinite sorrow of the Holocaust. As a descendant of Jews from this same part of Byelorussia, I know that many are indeed that tough and that resourceful. It rings true. The direction and performances were entirely convincing and made me feel I was given a window into that time. Was there some recognizable Hollywood formula in the telling of the tale? Of course. But there's a reason for the formulas. They work.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

This is an honest gripping journey of Jews evading HItler's willing executioners.
Fleeing into the dense forests, a rag tag group of accidental refugees find the leadership of two brothers with different perspectives of survival.
The acting is top notch with Liev Schrieber and Daniel Craig providing strong performances and an ensemble providing heart-rending support.
This is a true story of survival against all odds in the wilderness.
It will haunt you for a long time --
Yes, I recommend this movie.

This movie, based on a true story of survival, brings home the best and the worst of people living on the edge. It's not a feel-good movie; it's not a war story. It's a story of survival and all that entails.
We may complain that our houses are not big enough or that we don't have a new car, but we have more than rotten potato soup.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

This is Edward Zwick's strongest film since Glory. Its a previously unknown true story about brothers leading a group of Jews to standup to the Nazis. Their relationship is quite complex and brings out some great acting. The scenes are as powerful as they are frightening with a constant undertone of sadness and hope. Its written with wit and charm. The constant reminder of imminent disaster makes this a truly compelling film.
Forget 007. This film is exactly what Daniel Craig should be making. Liev Schrieber is great.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

This movie was compelling on two fronts. First, we have heard so many accounts of Jews being hidden and taken care of by non-Jews, this is the first account on a large scale of Jews hiding in the forest and taking care of themselves. Second, contrary to so many accounts of people walking into cattle cars or gas chambers without fighting, here the Jews were fighting to stay free.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
