Resistance – TRASH IT (C-) Based upon the famous British novel of the same name, Resistance is about a group of women in an isolated Welsh village wake up to discover all of the their husbands have mysteriously vanished in 1944. Then the German occupiers arrive in the village and they all now facing a harsh winter, the women and soldiers find they must cooperate with one another to survive. The story of the movie is really interesting and it gives room for lots of great performances and moments but sadly director took the easy way out and wasted 92 minutes on nothing but mere people walking and talking in the winter. I would have loved to see the director push the envelope by engaging German soldiers into these women lives more intimately than just helpers. That would have given the movie more raw and harsh look as what people actually have to go through to survive in the war. Andrea Riseborough is utterly boring and Tom Wlaschiha couldn't do much in it. Iwan Rheon, Kimberley Nixon and Stanislav Ianevski were alright. Michael Sheen is wasted. Overall, Resistance starts on slow note and ends on even more slower note. Bad direction and screenplay tank a potentially good war script.
