Valkyrie

This dramatic recreation of a conspiracy to assassinate Adolf Hitler and then take the reigns of the German government near the end of WWII is full of non-stop tension and drama.

Although it has some historical inaccuracies here and there, this movie is an awesome screen adaptation of the coup on Hitler with great performances.

The fact that it's based on true stories makes it even more interesting to watch, the way they operate the attempts and such is amazing honestly, the story telling really gets to the point too.

Not too bad a retelling and made very dramatic but knowing the ending before the coup makes it a hard sell. That sell is made even harder by a cast with unadulterated Yank accents, led by Cruise. If not hiring German actors, at least put on the hammy accents. Not the best war film. Watched on DVD.

Good movie, tho there's just loads of dialoge and the beginning of the movie was just a talk show and nothing more. But i liked the ending

Super entertaining movie that gets better with age. The whole cast is fantastic and Singer gives a lesson in filmmaking.

DON'T SKIP THIS MOVIE!! Anybody who has a sour review of Valkyrie usually states a general distaste for Tom Cruise, the fact that they aren't speaking German, or some other clumsy, vague, generalized argument against the movie. Listen to none of it. This is a true story and each performance is spectacular. Bill Nighy is almost enchanting in his ability to capture the terror the audience is feeling at the height of the movie. Cruise does an amazing job of capturing subtlety and nuance in a movie where everybody already knows what's at stake. JUST GO WATCH IT.

A really good movie, definitely worth watching

I really enjoy this movie. I didn't used to be a Tom Cruise fan, but that didn't stop me from enjoying this movie. The cast is truly incredible. I highly recommend this movie

Excellent film -- the cast, the pacing, the cinematography are all stellar. Cruise, Wilkinson, Branaugh and the rest could not have performed with more intensity. A period piece and historical film perfect for its genre. The German side of World War 2 is rarely portrayed and this is one of the better depictions.
