Its WWII and Hitler's madness has fueled several attempts on his life. Valkyrie is a dramatized version of the final failed coup against Hitler's Germany.
A lot of bad ink about this one, many students of the event felt Cruise's portrayal of the principle character to be lacking. Well, this may be so, but for the sake of watching a entertaining movie, it hardly matters. Its always interesting watching movies when you know beforehand how its going to turn out, Valkyrie does a great job of keeping you on the edge of your seat right up till the hat drops. This is an event driven, rather than character driven film, which means there isn't a whole lot of character development. So all in all, a good entertaining event, a bit on the serious side, so its for serious viewing... if you multi-task, you will find yourself wondering whats going on. Violence is minimal and gore non-existent. A nice easy way to enjoy a slice of near history.
