Must See Movie

Rating: 10/10 (5 February 2009)

I have only just got around to seeing this movie and I found it brilliant. I have read many threads on here commenting on Tom Cruise and his religion! I'm sorry but the what heck has that got to do with this film? I ask you?!?!? This film delivers from the opening scene and it just doesn't stop. Some films have a start, a middle and an end, where you have three impact parts and little boring bits in the middle to attach them all. But in my opinion not this one! In certain parts of the film (I am not going to describe them, in case some people haven't seen it yet) my heart was in my mouth with fear and nerves and I got goose-pimples (and no the cinema wasn't cold!). That sounds extremely silly but when you put it into context that the storyline was based on actually events its really not that silly.
The last half hour of the film for me, was extremely emotional. My heart went out to the Germans who tried so hard to destroy Hitler and what Kenneth Branagh said in the movie "show them that not all Germans are the same". Not only is this a Hollywood movie with excellent actors putting a great performance but this was based on true events and some people need to take a step back and remember this little detail. Perhaps then they would begin to understand and appreciate this film.
In my opinion, go and see this film! You will not be disappointed!
