Review of Operation Valkyrie (2004) by Daniel D — 21 Jan 2009

I seem to be on a bit of a war film rampage lately, this and Downfall being the 2 German films I've watched as of late. Downfall was far better than this film though. This film lacked substance...most especially character substance.

I kept expecting something more exciting to happen and when the film did reach it's climax, I wasn't that impressed. It didn't build up enough suspense in the crucial moments. Best way to describe it was like a reenactment of what happened.

.like those Crime Stopper reenactments lol...ok maybe not that bad, but it definitely lacked depth and emotion. It's good if you're just watching it for some accurate history telling...but as an entertaining film boooo.
