A true story of how four Jew brothers who escaped from the clutches of their Nazi aggressors and hence started banding up with other Jew stragglers who seek refuge in the forrest. They pick up and start rebuilding the Lives that they have lost hence forming a resistance group employing the use of guerilla tatics not to fight back but for mere survival.
However, this movie does not focus too much on the fighting but rather, the shine comes from how the community in the forrests grows out of proportion and the many problems faced by the brothers to keep everyone alive and in line. It is one of those well written war films that questions the morality of fighting for survival when tested in everyway possible. It stresses very much on the importance of the Brotherhood and camaraderie not restricting only to those of the same blood but all those who fight for the same cause. There are also some very well placed references to the Old Testament which are obvious in certain scenes.
This movie is not only surprisingly fantastic but also very authentic, spotting Russian dialogue aplenty. There are certain moments in the film which are truly triumphantly moving.
Daniel Craig played his true calling in this movie as he rough it out in the dirt as it becomes increasingly difficult, as the story progressed, to reassociate him with the well-heeled British operative from MI6.
