A nice film but an unachieved goal

Rating: 8/10 (24 February 2009)

Satisfying general historical ambiance, all actor's crew- acting, shooting, photography, but main thing, the historical details were not clearly exposed - thus the foggy and undocumented historical evaluation of some 3rd Reich's officers resistance, against Hitler's murderer regime - clearly set it though, to the last year of Hitler's end... thing to say that is the least surprising from their part.
The direction needed many more elements, we only saw Hitler's house to the Bavarian Alps (wolf's nest), some conspiring offices discussing about shooting Hitler and Valkyrie plan to proceed after, the Army Headquarters, some Ministery buildings -very well shot was that of Press, with all the telexes passing through. As for the military plan so called "Valkyrie" - the main story of film's plot, that scenario was very weak, so called vague and general...
The all atmosphere of the film was very satisfying, but it produced only a taste - a very good indeed! of the really happened so discussed resistance of Hitler's generals - also known from Hitler's own words at his last moments when he was trying to be informed, and be conscious about the inevitable fall, "I was surrounded by traitors".
