I saw this movie trailer today on the TV for the first time. I hunted down the trailer online and decided that others might want to take a gander too. Lots of clear weapons footage in the trailer, so there must be more in the movie. You'll have to give it a minute to load.

It looks like a very powerful movie. Definitely on my must see or buy list. I would like to have a Mosin with a Star of David etched in the stock from that period.

That movie looks awesome ! I am quickly becoming a Daniel Craig fan after seeing him in the recent TV movie Archangel.

Thanks for the heads up - I had not seen a trailer for this one.

Lots of clear weapons footage in the trailer, so there must be more in the movie.

I always thought they put the best five minutes in the trailer and once you've seen it the movie would be a let down.

I believe it comes out in theaters on Dec. 16th.
For anyone cruising the thread looking for the title of the movie - it is called Defiance.
Short short plot summary 3 Jewish brothers flee into the woods and meet up with a group of resistance fighters.

Does the book go by the same title? If not, what is the name of the author? I might like to read the book before going to see the movie.

I saw a date of Dec 26th on one site. Looks like a good movie, if it's done according to how it really happened.

Truth is more interesting than fiction.

Tim, I don't rember. My friend Jim has the book..will ask him. Denny

The book I have is called, The Bielski Brothers by Peter Duffy.

Looks like the movie is based on the other book, Defiance by Nechama Tec. I haven't read this one yet so I'm not too sure on the differences between them.

 

[JohnyW]

I can't wait to see this one. I might be able to see the midnight release, my brother is the manager of the Harkins in Phoenix, I get to see most movies for free before they come out.

Just bought the book today. I hope it's a good read.

I hope you're wrong in this case but I've seen enough movies where this applies perfectly!!

 

[engravertom]

Looks great! I haven't seen a film in a theater since Return of the King, but I will go and see this one.

Given the state of things, it really tugs at my heart.
