Title: Stilted Drama on Attempt to Kill Hitler
Product review: "Valkyrie" is a movie made for Tom Cruise fans. It never takes off, and has a very slow pace. Cruise plays the lead as Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg, famous for trying to assassinate Hitler and bring WWII to a quick end. However hard Cruise tries, he just does not grab the viewer as the character. It is Tom Cruise dressed up in period costumes and just saying his lines. The scenes look authentic but Cruise does not."Valkyrie" is the name of Hitler's strategic emergency plan that a group of high ranking Germans use as part of their plot to assassinate the evil dictator and take over the Nazi government from inside. The future of the world is at stake, and so is Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg's wife and children.It is based on a true story, but there does not seem to be enough material for a full-length movie.
