Defiance: Partisans in the woods fight the Nazis

Posted by grinagog on January 16, 2009 at 20:48:38:
fairly wooden performances by the main characters ( Brothers )
Molasses slow script worth tolerating for a couple of fairly decent action scenes
Partisans mostly appear too well fed + *way* well too dressed with nary a button missing or a thread out of place, not a hole worn in a jacket elbow or a trouser knee, not an ill-fitting garment to be seen. This band of gypsies clearly had access to the best bespoke tailors drycleaning facility + hairdressers in the Belorussian woods...
Sibling rivalry Hollywoodisation further adds to the sense of unreality
There were members of the "real" partisans who starved themselves to death because they couldn't get kosher food. This luke-warm rendering doesn't do their real story justice * at all *

An opportunity lost; viewed as "90% fantasy based on a true story" it's passable enough
