In Darkness (2011)
7/10
Inspirational and emotional. Really shows that humanity towards others will always beat out orders of death. I say B.

"These are my Jews, my work." This is the true story of a Polish soldier named Leopold Socha (Wieckiewicz) who risked his life in the 1940's in order to help a group of Jews escape death. His job as a soldier was to travel around the sewers of Lvov looking for people that are hiding and turn them in. After reaching a group they offer him money for him not to say anything. He returns often to get more of the bribery but eventually keeping them safe becomes about more then money. I am usually a sucker for true stories, especially ones that have a significant historical aspect to them. This one is very emotional as well as very inspirational. Much like "Schindler's List" and movies like that, this one really shows that no matter what your orders are humanity will ultimately win out and you will do whatever it takes to save a life. This movie really makes me want to learn more about this story and more about the reasons why this took place. Knowing nothing about this story I was on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen to both the Jews and Socha. The only real thing wrong with this movie is that it was pretty slow moving and a little repetitive. There were sometimes that I was looking at the clock and that took me out of the movie but it was still powerful enough to suck me back in. Overall, very emotional and inspirational and a movie that should be seen. I recommend this. I give it a B.
