This next movie is the Aptly-named The Grey Zone. From 2001, it's a dark, macabre look at a horrifying time in history.-
Based on actual events at the Auschwitz concentration camp in Poland, it's about a Jewish doctor recruited by Josef Mengele and other Jews who get special privileges for working for the Germans, called Sonderkommandos. Together they raise arms and mount the only armed revolt in any German WWII death camp.

The cast is good: Steve Buscemi and Harvy Keitel are great, and I even didn't mind David Arquette - a rarity.

This movie doesn't pull any punches. It is unflinching, depressing and hard to sit thru. But it's well worth it. It explores the moral grey zone and you often find yourself asking tough questions like what would you do if you were put in this hell.
