High suspense, top notch cast and a history lesson

Rating: 8/10 (22 December 2014)

This was very good even if it did tend to drag in a couple spots. The level of suspense is pretty high throughout though and the cast is filled with heavy weight actors. Its been based on the true story of a rebel German army officer who along with senior German officers and politicians led a plot to assassinate Adolf Hitler and overthrow his ruthless Nazi regime during World War ll.
Now of course you know the outcome isn't going to be favourable but I still caught myself hoping and somewhat shocked by the final scene. I also had no idea that these assassination attempts on Hitler even took place, so I learned something here as well. The opening battle scene in Africa is very well done. 08.13
