Writer-director-actor Tim Blake Nelson presents THE GREY ZONE, a relentlessly bleak drama that uses one of history's most incomprehensible calamities to address the ultimate question of human survival. Based in large part on Miklos Nyiszli's book, AUSCHWITZ: A DOCTOR'S EYEWITNESS ACCOUNT, THE GREY ZONE is set in the nightmarish world of Auschwitz in the 1940s. The film tells the brutal tale of the twelfth Sonderkommando unit, Jewish prisoners who were granted a few extra months of life in return for their services in helping with the genocide of their people. While organizing a revolt against the Nazis, a group of Sonderkommandos (played with ferocious intensity by David Arquette, Daniel Benzali, David Chandler, and Steve Buscemi) discover a young girl who has somehow managed to survive the gas chamber. Risking their lives, they team up with a fellow Jew, Doctor Nyiszli (Allan Corduner), to revive the fragile youngster and redeem themselves in the process. Nelson's excruciating drama is all the more unsettling for its unflinching honesty. By placing his characters in a world suffused with death, he creates an unbearable scenario where every decision determines the fate of dozens, if not hundreds, of innocent lives. THE GREY ZONE also features deeply impassioned performances by Harvey Keitel, Mira Sorvino, and Natasha Lyonne.

"...Nelson has a strong sense of movement and imagery..." -- Mike Clark, USA Today

"...The film's fearless and unflinching detail is matched by its subtle psychological force..." -- Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly

"...It builds powerful emotion by the end....The actors -- David Arquette, Mira Sorvino, Steve Buscemi and Harvey Keitel -- give moving performances..." -- Stephen Farber, Movieline's Hollywood Life

Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars) 5 stars

5 stars Hell on Earth that millions saw but only for a few minutes
Being an avid studier of WWII this film depicts an almost perfect view of what went on in the death camps that stretched across Europe. Excellent directing, extraordinary screenplay a certainly well cast. Here one will see the macabre details of gas chambers, crematoria, starvation, torture and forced labor. Though we see all horror strictly from an exterior point of view.., no one can never know what went on in the mind of the poor wrethced soul of a person who was transformed from human to nonhuman. This film does a fairly good job grasping for that allusive straw. I give it 5 plus stars.

5 stars Nazi atroticities at their worst!!
I have many books and movies of the Nazi atroticities inflicted during the early 1940's, but The Grey Zone truly dispels all myths! I recommend this movie most highly. Based on true accounts, one can see the horrible conditions and choices these people had to make and live with.

Grey Zone review
DVD $6.29  4.2 stars Top 500
Tango and Cash are two L.A. narcotics cops that go together like caviar and French fries. Dressed in three-piece suits and glasses, Tango (Sylvester Stallone) is the suave policeman; in his nine-dollar shirts and jeans, Cash (Kurt Russell) is Tango's salt-of-the-earth rival on the force. Each has spent his days and nights cracking down on drug dealers, to the fury of crime boss Yves Perret (Jack Palance). When Perret and his gang frame the two cops and have them sent to prison, it turns out that Tango and Cash don't get along any better behind bars than they did in the station house (they trade insults, and protest having to shower together). But when the ruling underground goons of the penitentiary torture them, Tango and Cash join forces to overthrow the prison menace, and, in the process, escape. Once free, they pursue Perret and attempt to destroy his cartel for good--that is, when Cash isn't busy romancing Tango's sister, Kiki (Teri Hatcher), further straining the pair's already tense working partnership. Atypically directed by Russian filmmaker Andrei Konchalovsky (collaborator with arthouse ...

Set in an average neighborhood that is anything but average, Tom Hanks portrays suburbanite Ray Peterson, who finally takes a much-needed week of vacation. However, Ray doesn't use the time to jet off to some exotic locale, there are no frolicsome adventures in his plans, all he wants is a week of mindless relaxation in his own comfortable suburban home. His wife Carol (Carrie Fisher) warns him that he's liable to go crazy from the boredom, but he refuses to listen. The nothingness finally does get to him, however, and he creates a little excitement for himself by spying on his neighbors - the Klopeks, a mysterious, oddball family that just moved in to a dilapidated home down the street. When the neighborhood grouch mysteriously disappears, Ray and a motley crew of other neighborhood crackpots begin to concoct wild theories about the strange, and perhaps murderous, goings on in the Klopek's creepy, old house. For one brief, shining moment their lives seem ...
