Trite and Predictable
PostedMay 19, 2009

Mostly good acting, great cinematography, but the storyline was too frequently trite and predictable. I haven't read the book, maybe it was as well, but it was irritating at points. The Catholic-bashing is a little old as well at this point. Tom Hanks has established himself as the leader of the anti-Catholic movement in Hollywood...fine, its his world, but it does detract from his film making. This movie is worth watching on television if it's a slow night.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

I never knew...

I loved this movie. I was unfamiliar with this story and the fact that it's true just adds to it. Daniel Craig is tremendous and Liev Schreiber is great. It is a realistic look at a group of jews who chose not to be murdered and instead stood and fought. While many die, the fact that they took a stand made a difference. Well worth seeing. Entertaining, moving and memorable.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
