Nicely Done

Rating: 8/10 (26 December 2008)

Valkyrie is a very good movie. The acting is beyond what the audience usually gets in today's movies, the direction is well done, and the script is well written. Tom Cruise is surprisingly very good in the movie. He is very convincing and actually has a strong screen presence. Valkyrie is a movie that he was made to be in. Kenneth Branagh also has a strong presence, but he is used very sparingly. Bill Nighy is as good as he usually is in every role he takes. Terence Stamp is marvelous. Tom Wilkinson is extremely good. The entire movie is well done and worth watching. It is an interesting story about true events that is well told.
