Defiance

I saw Defiance tonight. It was excellent. The film is based on the true story of the three Bielski brothers (played by Daniel Craig, Liev Schreiber and Jamie Bell). They're Jewish and escape the wrath of the Nazis to form a brigade in the Belarussian forest of Poland. They develop a sense of community that is dependent upon each other for survival. The brothers' bravery ended up saving hundreds of lives.

Liev's performance was great. He's a really good actor, but for some reason I always picture him in Scream. Jamie Bell from Billy Elliot also did a nice job. OK, now let's discuss Daniel Craig. Holy smokes! He just has that rugged manliness that is so sexy, and let's not forget those blue eyes. Defiance is a very different role for him from James Bond, but he is equally as tough and masculine in this film.
