3 / 5 - Good enough to pass time







Based on a true story set during World War II era where 3 Jewish brothers escaped from German occupation in Poland into Belarussian forest. (Eastern Europe near to Russia - Belarus).

Along their journey, one of the brother, Tuvia Bielski (Daniel Craig from Quantum of Solace and other James Bond movies) found additional refugees and decided to lead them as well. Thus, the challenge of leading the old, women and young in a vigurious condition, sufficient food to feed and running away from the Germans prove to be indeed challenging.

The show main focus is towards the forming of the community (how they get together and work as a team in erecting shelters and sharing of duties) and conflict within community under the leadership of Tuvia.

It seems to me that the moment Daniel Craig is stripped off from his 3 piece suit, flashy cars, beautiful women to flirt around and of course his 007 Bond identity, he doesn't seems to act very well. Infact, it's kinda of stiff at times.

Overall, it's a pretty average show, not suitable for war junkies and not much surprising scenes to talk about.
