My Review
Source Material: An Adaptation of Nechama Tec's Defiance: The Bielski Partisans, which is based on the true story of the Bielski partisans.
Acting and Dialogue: B, Great cast with good performance...this is what you get when you mix James Bond, Sabretooth, and A Jumper.
Art Direction: B, It had it's beautiful moments, I like the camp set up.
Cinematography: B, It had it's beautiful moments, the winter screens turned out the best
Direction: B-, Slightly above average, the repetitiveness of the story brought down the direction.
Sound and Music: A+, Where it lacked in cinema it gained in the score.
VFX: NA
Overall: B, somewhat slow and repetitive but over all it is a good movie.
