Reviews were mixed for Defiance but the Los Angeles Times suggests the film may be an Oscar contender, "particularly when it plays for the academy, which often goes for Holocaust-themed dramas. High praise was heard especially for stars Daniel Craig, Liev Schreiber and Jamie Bell."LA Times: AFI Ends in a Mood of Defiance (November 10, 2008)
Defiance is a film based on the true story of three Jewish brothers who escaped Nazi-occupied Poland during World War II. The brothers became part of a Russian resistance which led more than 1200 Jews in the forest of Belarus.
