Valkyrie Is No Masterpiece But It Brings An Important Historical Piece To Light

Rating: Null/10 (16 July 2017)

As informative as it is intriguing, Valkyrie is a finely carved, swiftly paced & well acted historical account that takes a leaflet out of the countless unforgettable events which occurred during the Second World War, and brings it to cinematic life in a tense & gripping fashion but what hinders it from making the desired impact is Tom Cruise's own star presence.
Though this film is no masterpiece, it does bring to light the legacy of Claus von Stauffenberg & his noble cause to show the world that not everyone in Germany shared Hitler's ideals. It works as a thriller, it is thoroughly engaging & it continues getting better as plot progresses before finishing on a powerful note but it isn't impressive enough to garner a spot amongst the finest examples of its genre. Still worth a shot for sure.
