Defiance - Daniel Craig attempting to speak with a Russian accent consistently, he scored a 5/10
The film gets 7.5/10
An empty film with lapses of perpetual boredom thown in for good measure, but we watched on in the forlorn hope it would produce the goods with Daniel Craig in attendance, but it didnt. The action scenes were fair to middling save for those psilosyben bending sten gun bullets that refused to hit their target, but i guess this wasnt a film about realism.
To compress, a trio of brothers
(I thought it was 2) fook off to a forest were they used to chillax as kids to escape persecution from the Nazi horde. News of their prowess seeps into circulation, and many a refugee ups and joins them.
And thats about it really, as they all eek out a life in the woods, ocationally having to bolt off as the Germans sniff them out. One scene led to Daniell shrieking out to
run run run and carry with you nothing but guns and amunition.
After trecking out of danger the refugees started to build new homes, with hammers nails hacksaws and spirit levels.
A lot of time is spent interspersing with the daily life of our gang, but sadly it remained devoid of any interaction as it's supporting cast of extras just mulled around in groups, and not conversing. They didn't for one minute look like they were extras, but more coerced unto the film set from an unemployment benefit office. Fair to say I have seen corpses perform ablutions better
Another scene finds Daniel killing his white steed to feed the starving group. He would have had to skin it first and then cut it up into bite size portions with the full assistance from his band of merry men, then season it and cook it. But what were we privvy to at the end of all these preperations ? Hordes of overacting sausages tearing his serving hatch apart owing to malnutritional nonsense.
Mr Craigs acting was not too bad, but his delivery of the Russian tongue was pitifull. A few Da's would have sufficed without the need for his hammy accent that wavered throughout.
A true story with some of it shaping up rather well, but mainly due to the assistance of the workable liev shriber, so I would like to offer up a score of 6/10
