I saw that The Penguin already has "A Man Apart" covered, so I thought I'd do this movie.
I doubt alot of you have yet to see it, but this film is about a piano player's story of survival in Warsaw, Poland during the Holocaust. The acting was good, not quite fantastic, the plot/setting was great yet repetative, and some of it could've been cut out (the movie runs 2 1/2 hours). All in all, this movie gets ***.

I saw it, I really liked it. It was well filmed and acted.
There were many scenes that made me nervous, like the scene where the German soldier was killing all those guys then he ran out of bullets on the last guy, I thought he would live.
And ofcourse the scene with Brody playing the piano for the German soldier, I felt he was going to die if he stopped playing.
I give it- ****
