Defiance

Starts out rough, with an inciting incident that happens off screen. The script is clunky, underdeveloped and amateurish, like it was written by an 8th grader who learned everything about WWII from videogames and Star Wars. So it takes a while to get into. Thankfully Daniel Craig and Liev Schreiber serve as strong anchors, and after a while I started to get into it. It’s a worthy true story, there are some taut battle scenes and there’s some decent acting. But Oy! The script! It’s bupkis! It made me shvitz on my tuchus it was such schlock! Feh!
