Valkyrie (2008) - IMDB: 7.4/10 Link here.
Guardian review (2/5) here: 'Director Bryan Singer opts to frame Valkyrie as a high-concept wartime suspense thriller, inviting us to suspend our disbelief and go along for the ride...'
Difficult sometimes to take the likes of Bill Nighy and Eddie Izzard seriously as Nazi traitors in this blockbuster, but Tom Cruise's quiff and 'natty eye-patch', Ken Branagh, Tom Wilkinson, Terence Stamp and Theo's Dad as Hitler (NYT: 'Hitler (David Bamber) doesn’t need spooky music or low camera angles to be villainous: he just has to show up') make it all an interesting way to pass a Sunday evening. Makes one want to know more about the real assassination plot of July 20, 1944 and Colonel von Stauffenberg - one of 15 attempts on Hitler's life.
