Entertaining History Lesson!!

Yes, Tom Cruise is a bizarre choice to portray a one-handed, eye-patch-wearing dissenting Colonel in Hitler's army, but if he can be a vampire, a samurai, and a balding movie producer, why not a German officer? After a clever transition from subtitles to English, Valkyrie unfolds a mesmerizing story that succeeds in maintaining a constant suspense regardless of an ultimate outcome known to all.

Smooth Hollywood thriller

An overwrought, but acceptable version of the plot that failed to kill Hitler; Cruise blends in nicely to his character and there's some genuine suspense to be found, despite knowing the outcome. What helps is the meticulous location shooting and the seamless supporting cast of familiars, even though no one bothers to alter their original accents. Final Grade: B

Valkyrie

Didn't like this at all. Maybe there was a scene or two i found interesting but this is by far Bryan Singers worst film. And that includes Apt Pupil.

And Tom Cruise is an actor i really admire, but the plotting and the clunky dialogue fall around him. Without him, this film would be unwatchable.
