Terrific Entertainment!

Rating: 10/10 (3 January 2009)

Valkyrie is the latest film from director Bryan Singer, after many delays the film has finally been released, and I must say that it was definitely worth the wait.
The film is about the assassination plot against Hitler, formulated by military officials. The leader of this plot was Col. Von Stauffenberg (Tom Cruise). These officials knowingly committed treason in hopes of successfully killing Hitler.
The film was superbly directed by Bryan Singer, who re-enforces himself once more as one of the film industries greatest living filmmakers. As well the script by Christopher McQuarrie and Nathan Alexander was terrific. Of course the true highlight of the film was the amazing acting. The cast, ranging from Kenneth Brannagh to Tom Cruise himself, was stellar. It almost seemed as if every single character actor in the film industry was cast in this movie.
While some have given this film flack for the simple fact that you pretty much know the ending before the film even starts, the film still manages to be a tense and highly entertaining thriller that not only will keep the audience on the edge of their seat, but also the ending will evoke a deep emotional response from the very same audience.
Valkyrie is Bryan Singer back in true form. It is easily one of the best films I have seen in a long time, and I am greatly looking forward to seeing this film over and over again.
I give Valkyrie a perfect 10 out of 10!
