A decade ago, relatively few people knew about the existence of Sobibor, the smallest-scale facility of the six killing centers that the Nazis built in occupied Poland. This obscurity persisted for decades in Russia, Israel, and beyond even though the camp is tied to a dramatic story of heroism: in 1943, Russian-Jewish inmates (some of whom were POW’s) led a massive escape of prisoners in what is considered to be the only successful uprising in a Nazi concentration camp. Following the Sobibor uprising, however, the Nazis razed the camp so that little more than a forest clearing remained in the remote area where SS guards and Ukrainians murdered 250,000 Jews.

The Russians don't mess around with war films and I like how they maintain a decent quality every time. Sobibor presents us with the greatest revolt and escape from a concentration camp in history and it's a blast to watch. The atmosphere of the filthy concentration camp is nicely captured, and the revolt itself is done in a slasher style, with a group of Jews deciding to take out the Nazis one by one, and in some places in a pretty gnarly way, until it becomes one of the best gore scenes of the year. Gritty, suspenseful, historically appealing and brisk. 80%
