Tom Cruise's fourth mission impossible, is to kill Adolf Hitler.Based on the true story, "Valkyrie" is a terrific historical thriller.
Basically the story is about the failed attempt of assassination to Hitler.
Yes, you can predict the ending if you know the history and facts.
But still, the solid screenplay brings you a breathtaking roller-coaster ride!!!
The setting, colour, costume are all very convincing.
They success to create a dark, scary and thrilling atmosphere of Nazi era.
Bryan Singer makes a great come back after his huge dissapointment of "Superman Returns".
No more superheroes, no more science-fiction.
And this time, we can see a mature directing technique by him,
no more horrible dialogue and dumb villains.
Thanks to the music and score, it is really good.
Audiences will hold their breath everytime Hitler appear, he looks so evil.
Every single movement by Tom Cruise when he is doing his "mission impossible", makes the audiences sweat.
Despite the criticism and controversial issue, I found that Tom Cruise can really act.
Well, not as good as Tom Hanks and Russell Crowe, but....
Who says good-looking actor can't act???
Ofcourse, the controversial issue will always rise when your story touch about religion, race, politics, and war.
Some people do not like Tom Cruise to take the role.
Some people do not like the movie to worship this Nazi officer.
But, if you do not bring these topics into the movie,
I dare to make a fair comment,
Tom Cruise act well in the movie!
"Valkyrie" is a very pure and incredible story.
It did not touch too much on love and family.
Tom Cruise's wife only appear for two, or three scenes in the movie.
The movie is very focus on the plot!
Not much of unnecessary character development!!
Well-done!!!

This movie is great, except one thing, sadly Tom Cruise doesn't look like Nazi nor a German.But no doubt, he can really act so well in this movie, it makes me recall his previous MI. Why I said so is because the rest of all the actor look so much like German Nazi, but not Tom Cruise, he look too American i say.
A nice movie to watch, to understand the true incident happen back there when Hitler ruling Germany.
Tom Cruise really look like the real Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg - at least his profile does and that's why they cast him. i read abt the movie and apparently casting Tom Cruise as the Colonel was not approved by the German politicians and Colonel's family members because of his religion. Lucky that they later accepted Tom Cruise because i really can't think of anyone else to play the character. I actually haven't watch it haha, but can't wait!
I agree with weisin and munyi too....
I think Tom Cruise doesnt look like a German or Nazi officer....
But he really look like the real Colonel Stauffenberg....
Anyway,it is a nice movie...worth a watch!
