nice movie, but staffenberg's role doesn't suit tom cruise

Rating: 8/10 (28 July 2012)

Overall I liked the movie, it is really nice. But i felt tom cruise doesn't suit for staffenberg's role. Only American action hero type roles suit him. he is not for these real stories, especially German. He is very much American. Whenever i saw him his face remembered me American military or air force. In the whole movie he never showed the real feeling of the FEAR on his face which shud have been felt by any officer of his rank when taking on Hitler's life and such a big step which would change the world. All the time tom cruise looked highly confident, as he looked in Mission impossible. Another thing abt this movie, I often got feeling of watching American military not German military of WWII. Don't know why ? May be because everyone speaks American English in the version i watched. though i don't understand German. My expectation before watching movie was i wud be in the middle of WWII, inside German military where they are trying to assassin Hitler secretly. But while watching i never felt i was in WWII Germany. yet movie is good, if u watch without expectations, you will really enjoy.
