Title: Historically Accurate and Highly Entertaining
Product review: Valkyrie is a depiction of the well known 20 July 1944 plot to assassinate Adolph Hitler.Although I am not normally too impressed with Tom Cruise, he gives a stellar performance in his depiction of Col. Claus von Stauffenberg, who was one of the ringleaders of the attempted coup.As those who are familiar with WWII history know, this was the last of several attempted assassination attempts against the German dictator. It was spearheaded by von Stauffenberg and other German officers who wanted to find a way for Germany to survive the Hitler insanity and be able to negotiate a reasonable peace with the Allies. Although many films purporting to be historical are not, this one is actually very true to the events in question.As we all know, the plot ultimately failed. Even knowing this does not diminish the excitement and drama of this flick. It is extremely well done, very entertaining, and will keep viewers on the edge of their seats throughout.
