Defiance is a average WWII 'hide the good guys form the bad guys' film.

Its atrue story about a group of Belarus Jewish brothers who after losing thier parents/wives/children decide to take in over a thousand Jewish refugees and hide and protect them in the woods from the German army.

Its abeautiful and inspiring story, it just doesnt have the punchy and staying power to put it into stellar flick ranking.

It somewhat drags in middle and just seems to be missing a little of teh drama tha tI am sure the original story held.

IMHO it would have made agreat movie of the week.

Daniel Craig, Liev Schreiber do sustainable jobs , but neither captivates the screen here.
