Perhaps I was overly sensitive to the Zionist message of a film at a time when Zionists were destroying the crap out of innocent lives in Gaza...Either way, this film was still also terribly over-produced, forced and predictable.

I thought D. Craig and L. Schreiber were plan awful in this film! Ahhh! And to think I was anxiously awaiting this film. What a waste of money!… Expand

Action not bad but the accents drove me crazy, a mish-mash of them and languages, people speaking Russian for one sentence then switching to Russian-accented English, so you're always painfully aware they are acting. Ruined the film for me.

Far too long and would have been a bit better if it wasnt. Solid acting by the main cast as well. The film overall though wasnt that interesting and often was rather dull through most parts of the film.

Neither smart, nor bright sci-fi that has poor characters, bad screenplay, cheap effects and stupid dialogs. Recommended only if there's nothing else to see (which is unlikely to happen).

Edward Zwick est coutumier du fait, à savoir d'une part des films trop longs et englués dans leur incroyable lenteur et d'autre part la guimauve qui suinte de partout, de la guimauve neuneu de base mais aussi de la guimauve patriotiqueEdward Zwick est coutumier du fait, à savoir d'une part des films trop longs et englués dans leur incroyable lenteur et d'autre part la guimauve qui suinte de partout, de la guimauve neuneu de base mais aussi de la guimauve patriotique pseudo-héroïque, prétentieuse et pathétique.

Daniel "Bond" Craig est bien gentil mais se fait vite avaler par ce malstrom très pleurnichard et très vain qui ne rend vraiment pas service à l'Histoire puisqu'il s'agit d'évènements réels semble-t-il. Le film fait penser à un Koh Lanta dans la forêt dans lequel on se bastonne de temps en temps avec les Allemands entre deux retours dans les cabanes en rondins et même une danse folklorique (Rabbi Jacob dans les cordes).

Les enjeux se retrouvent donc réduits à leur plus simple expression (un comble !) pour un film grandiloquent qui tente de nous tirer la larme à l'oeil mais qui nous fait bailler aux corneilles.… Expand

Belongs on TV at 3am. Low budget, badly cast predictable and over-produced soap opera of the forest.

A story worth telling yet so remarkably badly made it hurts to watch this film.

Irritating and self important. The Bielski brothers deserved better! The main problems lie in it's melodrama. When the film does action scenes they're actually alright. But they're the only satisfying part of it and even then look likeIrritating and self important. The Bielski brothers deserved better! The main problems lie in it's melodrama. When the film does action scenes they're actually alright. But they're the only satisfying part of it and even then look like they're on a set. Wouldn't blame the director or even actors for this, I would blame the producer who greenlit this for a hollywood studio despite it clearly needing a different style then what hollywoods accustomed to… Expand
