...less moral reawakening than practical compromise. Keeping prisoners for years on end requires territorial control, supply lines and a large number of rebel guards. The FARC maintains those things in some areas. Alan Jara, a kidnapped former governor who was released on Feb. 3, recalls pulling into a rebel camp that lacked kitchen gear. Though they were deep in the Amazon forest, the rebels overnight procured a gasoline stove and a 13-quart pressure cooker to prepare their beans and lentils.

Although Craig’s role in “Defiance” is a far cry from secret agent James Bond, his emotionally charged portrayal of Tuvia’s inner journey to become a cool-headed leader of the Jewish refugee camp is a well-executed and successful opposite for Zus. While the audience might anticipate scene-after-scene of imprisonment and execution, Zwick’s film opts out of presenting the bleak misery within the camps, instead exploring the emotional challenge for those outside of the concentration camps.
