His motto: "I see bad movies so you don't have to."Not just another Holocaust story
Not just another Holocaust story, this is a gritty, poetic film based on the true saga of Jewish refugees who fight the Nazis while living in the frigid woods of Belarus. It combines elements of “Fiddler on the Roof” and “Schindler’s List” without seeming contrived, and features Daniel Craig’s best performance.
Grade: A-
Rated R.
