About this movie

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"* is a true testament to the human spirit. *David Densby, The New Yorker

I hadn't heard of 'Defiance' until it came up as 'Recommend for you' on Netflix. I put off watching it until I went through all of the movies I had on my list. I couldn't find another movie I wanted to watch one night so I clicked on it and gave it a shot. WOW. Excellent movie, inspiring story, and it is based on a true story. I liked it so much that it is one of very few movies that I have watched twice. If you don't have Netflix, it is well worth spending a few bucks renting from Google.

I actually didn't think I like the movie at first. I absolutely thought I would dislike live schreiber even more. I have seen him often and there truly is no other underrated actor my humble opinion. He gives everything he has and that is considerable and so far he has never failed me. He has made me at time hate him love him envy him. He has made me laugh with him and cried him. So not that it really matters to him what I think I want to thank him for all the hours he has given his soul to the world

Very instructive movie I go to the forest several times at year, to hunt and camping, and I believe, than only the people trained in surviving at the forest can survive a possible III world ward. We must give to our families some kind of training at the woods or forest.
