Soulless and Empty

Rating: 6/10 (22 May 2009)

The problem with Valkyrie is that it lacks emotional depth and character development. Real suspense is generated at times and some of the action sequences are executed fairly well, but we know hardly anything about the characters and cannot emotionally invest in them. This makes the movie feel soulless and empty - a problem common to many movies today.
Believe it or not, but Tom Cruise is actually decent as the head Nazi conspirator. Terence Stamp is also quite good, but he does not appear often enough.
The real life story is quite fascinating, but many important details were unfortunately left out.
