Valkyrie (2008)

Cast : Tom Cruise, Bill Nighy, Tom Wilkinson, Kenneth Branagh
Director : Bryan Singer

All I know, Valkyrie is a classic masterwork from Wagner. Despite it inspires Stauffenberg (Tom Cruise) to do some revision of initial Valkyrie order, It also means an emergency plan developed by Reserve Army of the Germany to execute and takeover the country, after caused by the failure of Nazi government. Which leads to the attempted assassins of the Fuhrer.

The film is surprisingly thrilled me in. There was no violent actions at all. But still the value of its thrilling is not becoming any less. Even personally, i'd rather thrill this way than watching some literally actions. It's all about taking some decisions among the team. And understood that there are some language interest here. Like German movies played by Non-German actors with no German accents. Well, for me it's trully forgivable, since Bryan Singer brilliantly revealed in the opening scene by having Stauffenberg spoke Germany with English subtitle, but it gradually changed into an English speaking. Clever way, eh?

But then what i like about this movie that knowing the facts that there was not much romancing scene involved as a typical of Hollywood film. 4 stars out of 5!

Tom Cruise plays as Colonel Stauffenberg, is so convincing. But i like Bill Nighy who act as General Friedrich Olbricht. Great performance.
