I'm a soldier, but in serving my country, I have betrayed my conscience.

Rating: 8/10 (24 September 2009)

Tom Cruise played his part well and was an integral part of me liking this movie so much that I halted harvesting on Farmville.
He was backed up by some superb performances by Bill Nighy, Tom Wilkinson, Kenneth Branagh, Carice van Houten, Terence Stamp, and Eddie Izzard, among others.
It was fascinating to see that the conspirators spoke openly of their plans with no worries that they would be betrayed. This is because the career officers knew the war was lost, and were trying to save Germany.
There was little excitement as this was a serious matter and was conducted as such. The men played their parts well and we could share in their efforts to succeed.
Excellent film.
