There is a much better dramatisation of this subject

Rating: 1/10 (31 December 2008)

If I compare and analyse the 2008 Valküre with the 2004 Stauffenberg then I think Cruise and Co. lost their time and what is even worse my time. In my eyes, they created a worser film than existed before, which means they went back instead of making progress, which one can expect.
In the 2004 Stauffenberg, the leading actor Sebastian Koch portrays the character much more convincing for me than the self proclaimed scientologist. This 2008 specimen lacks depth and is too simplistic. I mean Americans get one year of history in high school, so most of the viewers will indeed be satisfied for what they "learn". If of course one is educated, one will be finding this film too Hollywoodean. This is why I think it is a waste of one's money to expect much from this piece.
