Movie Review

Film: Valkyrie
Staring: Tom Cruise
Directed by: Bryan Singer



I liked this movie. It was historically accurate, which i appreciate and it was a story that needed to be told. Hitlers Germany wasn't filled with 100% Jew hating Nazis, in fact the film goes on to tell us that this was only 1 of the 15 total plots to kill Hitler put forth by the German army. I found the story to be very interesting even though you know the outcome before it comes because obviously Hitler didnt get assassinated, he committed suicide like a little bitch.

I read a handful of reviews on this film before i saw it and most of the criticized Cruise's performance, and i disagree with them. He was very effective in the lead role and played the character very well i thought. I think the media just hates on Cruise as much as possible because hes an easy target due to his Scientology beliefs.


All in all, the movie was directed very well and the cinematography was superb. Great special effects and supporting cast, including Tom Wilkerson. If you like history, you will love this film. If you like uplifting stories of triumph and good over evil you might not like it. Like i said its a story that needed to be told on the world stage.

Rating: 3 Stars
