Defiance (Blu-Ray)
|
| | | Freedom Begins with an Act of Defiance.
Daniel Craig (James Bond: Quantum of Solace) stars as Tuvia Bielski, an ordinary citizen turned hero, in this action-packed epic of family, honor, vengeance and salvation. Defiance is a riveting adventure that showcases the extraordinary true story of the Bielski brothers, simple farmers -- outnumbered and outgunned -- who turned a group of war refugees into powerful freedom fighters. Tuvia, along with his unyielding brother, Zus (Liev Schreiber, X-Men Origins: Wolverine), motivate hundreds of civilians to join their ranks against the Nazi regime. Their "Inspirational story" (David Densby, The New Yorker) is a true testament to the human spirit.
"...a fresh and engaging view of World War II that's all the more startling because it's based on the actions of a real Belorussian family." Dan Lybarger, eFilmCritic.com
"Well acted, shot and edited, coupled with a compelling history lesson, in the hopes we do not let it repeat." Fiore Mastracci, Outtakes With Fiore
"...absolutely stunning battle sequences, fascinating sets and flawless period details." Frank Wilkins, ReelTalk Movie Reviews
"Powerful, gripping and quite remarkable. Daniel Craig gives the performance of his career." Pete Hammond, Hollywood.com
"An absorbing family saga, a thrilling combat movie and a backwoods epic that conveys the feel of a frontier-community-under-duress with the vividness of a John Ford classic." William Arnold, Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Editor's Note
Daniel Craig trades in 007's trademark tux for World War II-era garb in this film from director Edward Zwick (BLOOD DIAMOND). Craig stars with Liev Schreiber as men who hide more than 1,000 Jews in a Russian forest and battle Nazi soldiers.
