Defiance Movie Daniel Craig
Based on an extraordinary true story, DEFIANCE is an epic tale of family, honor, vengeance and salvation in World War II. The year is 1941 and the Jews of Eastern Europe are being massacred by the thousands. Managing to escape certain death, three brothers take refuge in the dense surrounding woods they have known since childhood. There they begin their desperate battle against the Nazis. Daniel Craig, Liev Schreiber and Jamie Bell star as brothers who turn a primitive struggle to survive into something far more consequential – a way to avenge the deaths of their loved ones by saving thousands of others.At first it is all they can do to stay alive. But gradually, as whispers of their daring spreads, they begin to attract others – men and women, young and old – willing to risk everything for the sake of even a moment’s freedom. Tuvia (CRAIG) is a reluctant leader and his decisions are challenged by his brother, Zus (SCHREIBER) who worries that Tuvia’s idealistic plans will doom them all. Asael (BELL) is the youngest – caught between his brothers’ fierce rivalry. As a brutal winter descends, they work to create a community, and to keep faith alive when all humanity appeared to be lost.DEFIANCE is directed by Edward Zwick (BLOOD DIAMOND
, GLORY) from a screenplay by Zwick and Clayton Frohman, based on Nechama Tec’s non-fiction book of the same name. The producers are Zwick and Pieter Jan Brugge. The team recreating the forest haven includes two-time Oscar®-nominated cinematographer Eduardo Serra (BLOOD DIAMOND, GIRL WITH A PEARL EARRING), production designer Dan Weil (BLOOD DIAMOND, THE BOURNE IDENTITY) and Oscar®-winning costume designer Jenny Beavan (GOSFORD PARK, A ROOM WITH A VIEW).

Review
Based on the book Defiance: The Bielski Partisans by Nechama Tec, Defiance revolves around three Jewish Brothers, Tuvia (Daniel Craig), Zus (Liev Schreiber) and Asael Bielski (Jamie Bell), who live in Nazi occupieed Poland.
The Bielski brothers manage to escape into the Belarussian forest where they unite with Russian resistance fighters. The group endeavour to build a village inside the forest in order to protect themselves and others in danger
--------------------
Not just a good bond then!People seem to forget that Mr.Craig had an acting career before he took on the role of Bond, and in this film he proves how good an actor he is. But he is not the only actor who played their designated character extremely well.Liev Schreiber and Jamie Bell gave outstanding performances as the other two Bielski brothers. The storyline was well held and always interesting, and the action scenes were excellently choreographed. Defiance tells a very moving and powerful story about the three brothers and their unbreakable bond,but also their spirited courage to fight back against the german troops that had already killed so many of their friends and family.I really enjoyed this film and did not expect it to grip me so much, great performances by all involved and an emotional piece of history if a little altered.All in all then a fine film!
