Worthy but flawed.
A great episode of the second world war is let down by some truly awful generic eastern European accents, and a so-so script. The film also somewhat downplays the support given to the Jews by the Polish Home Army, and the last fifteen minutes are a direct rip-off of Wajda's superb film Kanal.
Having said that, the battle scenes are filmed with style, and this is an important story which deserves to be told. The 1943 Ghetto Uprising inspired the rest of Warsaw, who in turn rose up in 1944. This should be watched with The Pianist for a better overall account of the period. -
