Worth a watch.

Rating: 7/10 (7 January 2009)

I saw Valkyrie in it's second week of release. The delay was primarily based on the mixed reviews it had generated and my own doubt about how a historically known fact could be presented as a thriller. I was in for a pleasant surprise as the movie was able to hold my attention from start till the end.The supporting cast has put up a wonderful performance with Tom Cruise never hogging the limelight.Bill Nighy is really good as General Olbricht and Tom Wilkinson is equally good as the fickle minded General Fromm. Though it is not path breaking stuff, it is one of the good films to have come out at the end of the year. But, I have to say it might get lost into all the other movies vying for Oscar attention in this award season.
