Suffers from TV movie-itis, despite the explosions & annihilation of buildings, it lacks dramatic forcefullness. ie: plodding direction by the numbers. The historical truths have been altered to make it more dramatic. (ie: there were no Jewish machine gunners on the roof). It never becomes truly engaging, just watchable on one level alone. Good, but not great.

It was good to see jews fighting back in this ww2 drama. I didn't know they fought back until this but a really good movie which depicts the spirit and determination brillantly.

Worth watching if one is interested in history and the true story of the not well known account of the Jewish Resistance fighters in Warsaw Poland during W.W.II. Excellent acting and a well produced film.
