Good And Deserves A Watch

Rating: 7/10 (18 November 2009)

For some reason it feels like this movie kind of just came and went when it was released and I think that was a shame. I really liked and thought that this was a very good picture and is one I would gladly watch again.
Where some World War II movies can tend to be on the dull side, I thought that this one was exciting throughout. It was neat to see a movie with the major plot being a well thought out assassination attempt. It was enjoyable to root for Stauffenberg to get the job done.
The characters were all good as well and I thought that Cruise did a very good job in his role.
To my understanding, this film closely follows the actual events that occurred. It is nice when movies are able to do this all the while being interesting and fun to watch.
I don't really see why this movie never received the very positive outing that I feel that it deserved. It is better than you might hear. Worth a watch.
