This was the best movie I have seen in many years. It was exciting, beautiful, and rich in so many ways.

I just saw Defiance tonight. It was well worth my money and time. During times of war, so many of these relevant tales of survival become forgotten and never told. It's always refreshing to be reminded that everyone holds the power to determine his/her own destiny. These people just didn't wait around like "sitting ducks" hoping and praying for outside political or spiritual forces to intervene on their behalf. Sometimes, we ,Americans, take our blessings for granted. Jewish people suffered immensely during WWII. Occasionally, we need to be reminded about what can happen when political authorities choose to initiate genocidal measures against a specific population of people. Such events have happened within the last 20 to 30 years in other countries. We never seem to learn!!!

Very good film, good acting and good action. It's not the greatest film ever, but you won't be disappointed either!

How the hell is this movie not up for best picture? Those critics, those academy voters, to HELL with them! This was an amazing movie, a complete and total triumph of the human spirit, of the will to carry on against all odds. The acting was great, the scenery beautiful, the direction gritty and the plot unbelieveable, this is one of the best movies i have seen in a long time. - "If you're going through hell, keep going."

The best movie I've seen in a while snd finally there have been some decent ones lately. Excellent moving story made all the more interesting since it's based on a true story. All the acting was great. I'm a big fan of Daniel Craig so I gave it an extra star.

This is a fantastic movie because it is authentic and consistent with my experience as a Holocaust survivor. While there is some dramatization the rest is true.
