Defiance

My husband was dying to watch this movie, so I was really excited when I was asked to review it.

And I have to say, Defiance lived up to his expectations. In fact, I'd even go so far as to call it one of the best movies of the year.

Defiance is the story of the Bieleski brothers, three farmers who, although outnumbered and outgunned, manage to turn a group of war refugees into powerful freedom fighters. It is a true story from the holocaust and one that actors Daniel Craig, Liev Schreiber, and Jamie Bell, and director Edward Zwick, manage to bring to life in a compelling, edge-of-your seat film.

I would recommend this movie for one of your date nights in, after you've put the kids to bed. The DVD's special features include commentary from the director, a behind-the-scenes featurette, a photo gallery that includes behind-the-scenes images and photos of the surviving members of the Bieleski Otriad, and a featurette featuring descendants of the Bieleski family.

Defiance is only $9.99 right now on Amazon and is a GREAT Father's Day option. Definitely check this one out!
