Unfortunately Boring

Rating: 6/10 (1 January 2009)

Now I go into this movie knowing a lot about this particular attempt on Hitler's life and no one is going to be surprise about how this movie is going to play out if you know history. I mean, after all, this is not a "what if" movie.
To me, this movie took forever to get going. It is extremely slow pace and that may sit well with others, but you expected to have a bit more meat than it had. But I guess this movie wanted to show you how much commitment that these guys had. Unfortunately this movie really centers around Tom Cruise's character and waste so much talent of the other cast members (Kenneth Branagh, Tom Wilkinson, Terence Stamp, Eddie Izzard).
It is in interesting story but the movie didn't make it so. This movie feels a lot longer than its 2 hour running time and unfortunately I think Universal has a big dude on their hands. For people who are going to think they are going to see a WW2 film, save your money, it's not that type of movie. And I knew what I was getting into, but unfortunately this movie did not entertain and thats should be the number one priority of any movie. It just didn't keep my interest. It looks good, it sounds good, but it just misses the mark. I give it a 6 out of 10 and I think I am being generous by one mark. But it gets that score because of the last 15-20 minutes.
