Suspenseful

Rating: 8/10 (27 March 2015)

I dove into this movie without knowing what to expect (except for the fact that this was a WWII movie with Tom Cruise, he-he). We weren't taught in detail about the assassination attempts on Hitler, so I was curious to see what made this particular attempt a box office movie.
Coming from a German background, it was a bit odd hearing the incorporated English accents in German history. But I tossed that aside and focused on the entire plot. With all honestly, I've seen Tom Cruise in better roles but he did put an ample amount of effort into Colonel Stauffenberg. I absolutely loved the ensemble cast. The entire story was gripping and I got extreme chills during the actual attempt scene.
Overall, I think Valkyrie was quite enjoyable. The authentic feel of Nazi Germany and the officials were well executed, no pun intended.
