Very authentic and interesting story

Rating: 6/10 (22 August 2009)

It's the first time I have seen a film of the good SS Van Stauffenberg. I never had the intention to see the older film because I was every time interested to see war movies with action. It was Tom Cruise that got my attention for this exciting and solid remake. It contains therefore only a short battle scene but then the story shows step by step how Van Stauffenberg wanted to assassinate Adolf Hitler. All the sceneries were well done and the perception of this true event is very authentic. I think that all the actors did a great job here. I wished so much at the end that everything came true as Van Stauffenberg and his supporters imagined. Instead it's a great pity that finally the plan failed and Germany then got destroyed. After nine months of his execution the second world war nightmare got an end at least. Let's hope for a better world in future. I am asking myself the question if Van Stauffenberg acted only to get power about Germany before it was too late or if he really intended to stop killing more people. 6.5/10.
