Great Psychological Thriller!

Rating: 9/10 (18 October 2012)

Valkyrie is one of the better recent psychological thrillers that came out. This movie has such an interesting story line and a great ensemble cast. This is a movie about why not all humans are bad. It proves that there are humans ready to sacrifice themselves so they can get rid of evil.
This film is about one of the last attempts to assassinate Adolf Hitler. It's about how Colonel Stauffenberg and other Nazi-haters teamed up to plan an attack on Hitler.
The acting is really good. This is one of Tom Cruise's better roles. He is very believing and even looks the part. Also, who doesn't want to see a movie that features Cruise, Bill Nighy, Tom Wilkinson, Terence Stamp, and Thomas Kretschmann all in one film.
Overall, this is one moving, historical thriller. Of course those who studies history would know the ending of the film. Nonetheless, the course of the film leads up to an emotional ending. I also have to add that this film is probably one of the best accurate historical films I have seen. I rate this film 9/10.
