Good God, another hambone Ed Zwick movie. Defiance, a WWII-era drama, will star Daniel Craig in a “true story of four brothers in Nazi occupied Poland who flee to the Belarussian forest with a band of Jews and join forces with Russian Resistance fighters.” Craig is flying high these days, but one day he’ll regret this. Once an actor has been through the Zwick grinder, his aura is never quite the same — the coolness factor always cools down. You can’t tell me that Tom Cruise was tickled pink with how The Last Samura turned out; ditto Leonardo DiCaprio in Blood Diamond. These guys know what’ goes; they aren’t fools. The only actor who smelled good after a Zwick film was Glory‘s Matthew Broderick.
