A good movie

I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but since there was a nice cast involved, I thought I might as well check it out. First of all, I have to admit that I had never heard about the Russian resistance before, so, only for this,  it was already  a really interesting movie. On top of that, I thought that the story was just really impressive. Of course, I have to admit it, the whole thing was nothing really original, it was actually full of clichés but I thought it was a well made picture, always entertaining and sometimes ever rather emotional. Concerning Daniel Craig, even though I’m glad that the James Bond gig gave him some worldwide recognition, it seems that his other roles didn’t get much deserved attention which is too bad. Anyway, I thought he was really good in this movie and Liev Schreiber gave also another really strong performance. Concerning Edward Zwick, I always had a hard time to really care about the work of this director but this movie must be, after ‘The Siege’, his most underrated one. To conclude, even though it was maybe not a masterpiece, I thought it was still a really solid historical drama and I think it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
