Theater-worthy Film

Rating: 6/10 (2 January 2009)

If you have not seen this movie yet, go see it in theaters before it's too late! I thoroughly enjoyed watching Valkyrie on the big screen and definitely recommend it to those who have not yet seen it. I rated the movie as a 7 out of 10, believing it falls just short of being classified as "great". It most assuredly is good but lacks the impetus behind it to reach what I consider great-status. Tom Cruise's performance is thrilling - I have always been a fan of Cruise's, so maybe my opinion is a little biased :). Oh, and about the accents, go see the film. The first few minutes explain that well to those who pay attention when they're watching movies! I saw Valkyrie about five days ago, and I still find lines from the movie reverberating around in my head from time to time. To me, that's what makes a movie good. If you go home after seeing a movie and find yourself thinking about scenes and quoting lines from the movie, then you know that you enjoyed it! Believe me, you will not forget about this film after viewing it like you would from, say, Quantum of Solace, or something of the alike. - 7/10
