The cast is formidable, Tom Cruise delivers a very powerful and convincing performance as Colonel Stauffenberg, Tom Wilkinson as General Fromm is excellent, Terrence Stamp as Ludwig Beck although his role is a bit short, it is also very important and with a decent acting job. Kenneth Branagh, Eddie Izzard, and Bill Nighy were also very good in their respectively supporting roles. In conclusion, Valkyrie is a impressing movie that will keep you interested for two hours
