I just came from seeing Defiance, starring Daniel Craig(James Bond) and Liev Schrieber, (The Sum of All Fears, CSI, and MANY more) and I can say this is the best film I have seen in years. This is a story that is made up of many stories, good and evil, greed, humanity and I could go on, but ultimately, this is a film of the weak overcoming the strong, and a story about brothers. The film is so well crafted and so emotional that despite a somewhat happy ending, if you can put it that way, I found myself in tears. I don’t want to write too much, as I don’t want to ruin the film for anyone. One of the best things for me, someone who is proudly Jewish, is that despite being a 3:30 showing, the theater was 90% full.

If you are a fan of films, and excellent storytelling, you must see this movie. Defiance. I’m already putting the Blu-Ray on my wish list.
