A Remake for Fans of Tom Cruise Only

Rating: 4/10 (19 March 2009)

In 1944, a group of high command officers plot an attempt against Hitler, and one of the leaders of the conspiracy, Stauffenberg (Tom Cruise), goes to a meeting with the Fuhrer in charge of exploding the place. However, Hitler survives and the conspirators are executed.
The 2004 "Stauffenberg" with Sebastian Koch in the lead role is another great example of the powerful German cinema. Based on a true event, with remarkable performances, tight direction and excellent reconstitution of a dark period of the contemporary Germany history, it is highly recommended  indeed a must-see film - for fans of war movies. This shallow and unnecessary remake, with Tom Cruise in the lead role and spoken in English, is only recommended for fans of Tom Cruise and viewers that do not like to read subtitles. Prefer watching the 2004 German version for television that is better and better. My vote is four.
Title (Brazil): "Operação Valkiria" ("Valkyrie Operation")
