I received my Blu Rays each in seperate cases and both cellophaned together (no slipcase). These are both great movies and being offered on value for price. These 2 are also great examples of blu ray quality.....especially Defiance! it couldnt have been better. Defiance actually is the first blu ray I have seen with a wow factor for resolution and color.I love Enemy at the Gates, however I am put off but the blatant English accents by many of its British actors, if theyre actors why couldnt they sound like Russians, to me this is a great flaw in its making otherwise a great movie. At least in Defiance they dont sound like they come from Putney Green and Brixton but eastern europe. So 'Enemy' gets deducted a star ie 4 stars for Enemy and 5 well earned top stars for defiance.
Oh, and you must watch the extras of Defiance after the movie, very informative and revealing as told by their children.
If you found any of my words helpful to you at all, please vote on it. Thanks.
Enemy at the gatesI like this film for many reasons. First of all its a rare look at the eastern front. It would be great if the Russians would start making some good films about their WW2 heroics. But until that day, we will have to watch films like this and Stalingrad. I also like the battle of Stalingrad. Although this is a small part of the overall scope of the battlethese dueling snipers were a factor for moral and are a fascinating subject to learn about. The acting is very good in this film too. Ed Harris is always excellent and I think Jude Law, Joseph Fiennes and Rachel Weisz were great as well. The amount of work and detail with regards to the set and the city of Stalingrad was very well done. Even the fountain with the children and the aliigators is recreated for this movie. Great detail.
DefianceAnother subject that is rarley coveredpartisans against the Nazis. These mini armies of freedom fighters were a major problem for the Germans as they advanced through newly conquered territories. That makes this subject an excellent choice for film. Daniel Craig and Liev Schreiber star as the famous Bielski brothers. There are some good action sequences here, but the film also centers on how these people made their lives work while being on the go so much. Living in the woods with a group of people adds tension and doubt. But everyone is resolute about defeating the nazis. This film also has some interesting special features.
I would rate Enemy At The Gates a 5 and Defiance a 4but having both of these films on blu ray for $20 bucks is a 5 star deal.

These two films are great. The fact that they are cheap and in a Blu ray double pack is even more awesome.Defiance is a very different type of war movie. It is like a cross between Band of Brothers during the siege of Bastogne and Shindler's List. It presents a much different view of the war than the typical war dramas.
Enemy at the gates is the only major (American released) film I know of to focus on the Russians in WW 2. Specifically it focuses on the battle of Stalingrad. Much of the story is embellished to create a better movie and to ad in Romance, etc but this is one of the greatest war films made in the past quarter century.
