An excellent historic account

Rating: Null/10 (9 May 2009)

I had heard and read such negative comments about this film, that I very nearly let it slip by. I'm certainly glad that I didn't! For those who enjoy WWII history or period war films, this is an amazingly well done film that both entertains and teaches. Tom Cruise's portrayal of Stauffenberg is convincing, and the supporting cast help bring this element of the second world war to the big screen. The cinematography and set design bring together the full package.
I wonder if part of the reason that this film has received negative press is because of Cruise's personal life and religious beliefs. I hope this isn't the case.
You will enjoy!
